Greetings!
Hello, I am Randy Zhu, a student at The University of British Columbia, Vancouver Campus (UBC). I am doing a few things at once (as one would) right now:
I am working on ExploTest, along with Kevin Liu, under the supervision of Dr. Caroline Lemieux at the Software Practices Lab
ExploTest is an automatic unit test generator that generates unit tests from end-to-end tests. It uses dynamic analysis techniques to extract out function arguments, and performs either serialization, or a (somewhat novel) code-level serialization argument reconstruction technique. I am currently working on an evaluation of its usability on real software repositories, and categorizing difficulties/challenges with test carving in Python for my honours thesis.
Previously, I held a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Undergraduate Student Research Award to work on ExploTest for the summer of 2025.
Looking a 4-5 month internship/co-op for the summer of 2026!
From September 2024 to April 2025, I worked as a co-op at Teck Resources, soon to be Anglo Teck group, working on various dashboards, Power Platform apps and automations to accelerate the work of business and engineering teams. You can find a copy of my resume here and my unofficial UBC transcript (with PII redacted) here.
Teaching students in an introductory computer systems course
I am a teaching assistant at UBC, teaching students the basic building blocks1 of software2. The course covers some microarchitecture, function calling conventions, and multithreading.
