Using innovative STAMP open source tools, Java developers and DevOps teams can now produce quality releases faster and more frequently.

Paris, November 15, 2018 - OW2, the global community for open source infrastructure software, announces the launch of STAMP beta-testing campaign. Java developers and DevOps teams are invited to download and try DSpot and Descartes, both outcomes of the STAMP project supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

The STAMP beta-testing campaign is starting online at: l.ow2.org/stpbeta  

STAMP stands for "Software Testing AMPlification". The STAMP tools act along the Continuous Integration and Continuous Distribution pipeline (CI/CD), reducing errors and eliminating failures in Java applications while they are being designed, configured, and sent to production. 

STAMP users obtain a modern testing toolset to leverage their Java testing assets. They can produce software releases more frequently, more rapidly, with higher quality.

Using DSpot, STAMP early users can detect and generate automatically missing assertions for Junit test cases, also known as test amplification. Adding Descartes, a Pitest plugin, to their own java code, they get more actionable and faster mutation analysis results. 

Beta-testers are requested to fill in a short questionnaire by 25 March 2019 to provide their feedback and help fine-tune the toolset. They will also be distinguished as STAMP contributors and enter the community. Moreover, the first campaign participants will receive a customized “STAMP test pilot” gift.
A dedicated mailing list has been set up to allow Beta-testers to exchange and share their experiences. 

About STAMP Project 

Leveraging advanced research in automatic test generation, STAMP aims at pushing automation in DevOps one step further through innovative methods of test amplification. The project is developed by a consortium of ten partners and has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The STAMP toolset is evolving frequently.

In this podcast, the French CastCoders are talking news from the latest developer conferences, including RedHat Summit, Google IO, and Devoxx UK.
For example, AI technologies are progressing with several vocal requests now grouped in a context. Micro-service platforms are also evolving very fast.
Vincent Massol, XWiki CTO, explains the STAMP R&D project objectives, mutation testing tools and several use cases.

The mutation testing page in Wikipedia now refers to Descartes and STAMP project:

Descartes A mutation engine plugin for PIT based on extreme mutation testing, developed within STAMP research project.

As open source community partner of Cloud Computing World Expo, OW2 stands out as the exhibition area dedicated to Open Source Cloud and stimulates public debates on the topic.

Paris, March 12, 2017 -   OW2, the global community for open source infrastructure software, announces its presence at Cloud Computing World Expo, March 21-22, in Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, Hall 5.2. The community will be visible on the #F17 booth  and during the Open Cloud Forum by OW2, with speakers from OW2 members (ActiveEon, Bonitasoft, Inria) and from European-funded R&D projects STAMP and CROSSMINER. This forum offers to the professional visitors and to the pre-registered attendees the following agenda:

STAMP - DevOps : Bringing Automated Test Generation

Source: INRIA Website

Date: December 2016

A powerful software development methodology, DevOps has become a very popular tool in the US for it greatly helps web giants to deliver more frequent updates. True enough, Europe hasn't catch up yet. Coordinated by Inria, STAMP is a consortium whose aim is to provide a critical missing piece to this methodology. To wit: an automated test generation tool that would make DevOps less risky and incidentally more palatable to European companies. This projet has just been selected as part of the EU H2020 call for proposals ICT-10-2016 ‘Software Technologies’.
