Test Complement Exclusion: Guarantees from Dynamic Analysis

Andreas Zeller is a full professor for Software Engineering at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany, since 2001.

In 2010, Zeller was inducted as Fellow of the ACM for his contributions to automated debugging and mining software archives, for which he also was awarded 10-year impact awards from ACM SIGSOFT and ICSE.

In 2011, he received an ERC Advanced Grant, Europe's highest and most prestigious individual research grant, for work on specification mining and test case generation.

In 2013, Zeller co-founded Testfabrik AG, a start-up on automatic testing of Web applications, where he chairs the supervisory board.
