Research Assistant position: Visualisations of Impact and Differences for Multi-version Dependency Data Oracle Labs, Australia offers a six-month, full-time internship in the Program Analysis group, starting within the June to November 2017 timeframe. Frappe is a code-comprehension tool that helps developers understand and navigate dependencies in their code. It allows the impact of code changes to be determined by executing queries on a graph of code dependencies. The current version of Frappe's UI displays a single version of code as a visual representation of that code. The aim of this project is to explore, design and develop extensions to the Frappe UI to show impact and difference for multi-version dependency data. Oracle Labs Australia is passionate about improving the quality of software and the productivity of developers. We research and develop new techniques in program analysis as it applies to a variety of domains, including bug-checking, security analysis, cyber security, productivity tools, testing, and more. We are best known for our research on static-code analysis that led to scalable and precise bug-checking algorithms embedded in the Oracle Parfait tool.
