Keynote: Data - Art, Science & Engineering
P. Radha Krishna's keynote highlighted data as a strategic asset, driving business value through enhanced decision-making, operational optimization, and customer experience. The discussion traversed the evolution of AI (AI+++) from traditional rule-based systems to the current era of generative and agentic AI, emphasizing LLMs' role in reshaping software engineering practices and the importance of data fabric architectures.
Evolution of AI Paradigms (AI+++)
Large Language Model for Security Testing
Sangharatna Godboley's talk focused on how LLMs enhance fuzz testing for software security. By generating more meaningful, diverse, and intelligent seed inputs, LLMs improve program path exploration and significantly increase the effectiveness of vulnerability discovery. Specific techniques like SLS-Fuzz, gptCombFuzz, and gptPromptFuzz were introduced as cutting-edge LLM applications in this domain.
LLMs dramatically improve fuzz testing by generating highly relevant seed inputs, leading to a higher rate of vulnerability discovery compared to conventional random methods. This accelerates the identification of security flaws in complex software.
Fault Prediction through Postmortem Analysis with LLM and Machine Learning
Lov Kumar's presentation highlighted a comprehensive framework for software fault prediction, combining LLMs, source code metrics, and various machine learning models. Unlike traditional approaches, this method integrates semantic and contextual information from LLM-generated postmortem reports, significantly improving accuracy in identifying faulty classes or modules through ensemble learning.
| Feature | Traditional Fault Prediction Models | LLM-Enhanced Fault Prediction Models |
|---|---|---|
| Focus Area | Primarily relies on static code metrics (e.g., lines of code, cyclomatic complexity). | Integrates semantic and contextual insights from LLM-generated postmortem reports. |
