Overview of Yuqi Huai’s dissertation: revealing (DoppelTest), reproducing (DeFT), and diversifying (MozartTest) bug-finding capabilities for autonomous driving system testing

Yuqi Huai has successfully defended his dissertation, entitled Toward Effective Autonomous Driving System Testing: Revealing, Reproducing, and Diversifying Bug-Finding Capabilities, and completed his Ph.D. in Software Engineering at UC Irvine. His dissertation introduces doppelganger testing, deterministic frame-based testing (the basis of DeFT, our ICSE 2026 paper), and white-box scenario generation for autonomous driving systems. Yuqi has since started at Google. Many thanks to his committee members, Sam Malek and Alfred Chen. Congratulations, Dr. Huai!
