Summary: The papers in this special section focus on software testing and program analysis, which have become increasingly important due to the ubiquitous influence of software in our lives today. However, current techniques in these areas are still immature and impractical, with challenges such as difficulty in automating test case generation, efficiency and state-explosion issues in program analysis, and limited empirical validation of test case prioritization effectiveness.

Summary: Search-based software testing (SBST) is a mature area with techniques developed to tackle the challenging task of software testing. SBST techniques have been successfully applied in the industry to generate test cases for large and complex software systems. However, their effectiveness depends on the problem being addressed. This paper revisits the evaluation of SBST techniques using Instance Space Analysis (ISA) to visualize and assess their strengths and weaknesses across a broad range of problem instances from common benchmark datasets. The paper also examines the diversity and quality of benchmark datasets used in experimental evaluations.

Summary: Software often produces biased outputs, especially machine learning-based software when processing discriminatory inputs. To address this issue, we propose a grammar-based fairness testing approach that generates discriminatory inputs to reveal and explain biases in software systems, and improves fairness through fault diagnosis.

Summary: A 64-year-old man with 3 years of forgetfulness and word-finding difficulties, as well as a family history of early-onset dementia, tested positive for APOE e4 allele genotypes 3 and 4, indicating that Alzheimer's disease is likely the cause of observed dementia. Further professional diagnosis and treatment planning are needed.

Summary: This paper proposes an improved approach for space mission risk classification based on text mining, which has higher accuracy in extracting bibliographic data compared to previous works. It assigns weights to identified risk parameters and calculates a total mission class score based on these data. The interrelation of these parameters is quantified using the t-score metric and appropriate visualization is provided for further analysis. The method serves as an assistant tool for experts in assigning weights to parameters and allows for the consideration of parameters with widely different importance. The application of the classification algorithm is demonstrated using the NASA Mars Perseverance mission.

Summary: This paper introduces a new taxonomy in the GitHub ecosystem called GitRanking. By collecting 121K topics and using GitRanking, a taxonomy of 301 ranked application domains was created. The results show that GitRanking can effectively rank terms in a hierarchy. The objective of the article is to improve software classification methods for better labeling and categorization of software projects.
