Zhongyan Chen

Zhongyan Chen is a Researcher in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. Their work focuses on software testing, open-source software, and technical debt analysis. Chen holds a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering from Wuhan University (2015-2019) and a Master of Science in Advanced Computer Science from the University of Manchester (2019-2020).

Research interests include evaluating test smells in open-source projects, assessing technical debt through developer actions, and improving software testing education for students and professionals. Their work has been published in peer-reviewed conferences like IFIP-ICTSS and is supported by datasets publicly available on Figshare.

Key datasets include mappings of test code changes across commits, smell detection results, and analysis of commits containing test code modifications. These datasets are openly accessible via DOIs like 10.48420/22583665 and 10.48420/22583245.
