This Position reports to:
R&D Team Lead

Within ABB Robotics R&D System and Test department we are proposing a master thesis next spring semester. One of the department's focus areas is to develop the software test infrastructure, tools, and methodologies.

Background

Today robot controller software (RobotWare) is tested with several thousand regression and validation tests that are running during nighttime. This is efficient to find logic errors and other bugs. But to analyze every test run is a tedious job that needs improvement

There is a need for a new way to analyze test results and create bugs in an automatic way.

Description

Development of a tool/algorithm/bot that analyzes software test results from automatic test runs.

The tool should analyze result logs, re-run failing test(s) on different platforms/builds, find suspected changesets and more to create a report with links to an existing bug report or possibly create a new bug report.

Details:

• Period: January-June 2026
• Number of credits: Master thesis 30p
• Number of students: 1-2
• Location: Robotics R&D office at Finnslätten, Västerås

Your responsibilities

• Thesis work include an investigation of how to detect software changes that lead to failing test runs.
• The work should also include some proof-of-concept implementation of a testing analyzing tool written in C#.
• It could include machine learning to detect changes and create automatic bug reports.
• Suggestions and modifications of thesis work are appreciated.
• The thesis work is independent, but you will be a part of an agile scrum team feeling the pulse of the daily work in the team.
• You will have a dedicated supervisor helping you in the right direction and a lot of possibilities to influence the way forward as you see fit.

Your Background

• Engineering student within Computer Science, Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Information Technology, System Engineering, or other program with similar profile.
• Comfortable working with systems and programming in a hobby, university, or professional context.
• Curious and eager to learn.
