In your Edge computing, Cloud computing or IoT environment, chances are you're mixing several services written in different languages. 

"Multiple modern architectures are now polyglot, with a different language on the server and the clients, or even different languages among microservices", says Martin Monperrus, Professor at KTH. 

Google, eBay, Twitter, and Amazon are among the big technology companies that have evolved to support a polyglot microservices architecture. "The essence of a polyglot architecture is to delegate the decision over which technology stack and programming languages to use to the service developers", explains Tripta Gupta in her article entitled Analyzing Polyglot Microservices. 

In STAMP, we focus on Java because it's the #1 language for server-side enterprise applications. However, several mutation testing tools are now centered on popular development languages, including:

• Infection, a mutation testing tool for PHP
• MutPy and Mutmut, mutation testing tools for Python
• Muter, a mutation testing tool for Swift
• Unima, a mutation testing tool for C# 
• Stryker Mutator, a mutation testing tool for C#, Scala, JavaScript and Typescript

This list is far from exhaustive. We'd like to ear about your favorite Mutation Testing Tools and your suggestions about STAMP Descartes.

Martin Monperrus, KTH Professor, has been invited at Madrid Java User Group. In his talk, Martin will present Spoon, an open-source library that enables you to transform and analyze Java source code. Spoon provides a complete and fine-grained Java metamodel where any program element (classes, methods, fields, statements, expressions...) can be accessed both for reading and modification. Spoon takes as input source code and produces transformed source code ready to be compiled. It can be integrated in Maven and Gradle. See: https://github.com/INRIA/spoon

Place: Stockholm, Sweden

During his SAST talk, Martin Monperrus details the STAMP Descartes tool.
Title: AI based tools for QA of software
Speaker: Martin Monperrus, Professor of Software Technology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology

The Swedish Association for Software Testing (SAST) was created in 1995, by Anna Eriksson and Sigrid Eldh, to create a forum where the members can exchange experiences and knowledge within software testing. The main idea is to mediate knowledge within software testing as well as the neighbor disciplines. SAST is an association for anyone interested in the testing skill set, and the increasing interest for the area has made the member count increasing.
