• Abstract: It's long been accepted that continuous integration (CI) in software engineering increases the code quality of enterprise projects when adhered to by it's practitioners. But is any of that effort to increase code quality and velocity directed towards improving software accessibility accommodations? What are the potential benefits quoted in literature? Does it fit with the modern agile way that teams operate in most enterprises? This paper attempts to map the current scene of the software engineering effort spent on improving accessibility via continuous integration and it's hurdles to adoption as quoted by researchers. We also try to explore steps that agile teams may take to train members on how to implement accessibility testing and introduce key diagrams to visualize processes to implement CI based accessibility testing procedures in the software development lifecycle.

  This research investigates the current state of sustainability consideration within the software engineering industry through a survey. The results highlight a lack of progress in practically integrating sustainability considerations into software development activities. To address this gap, a case study with an industry partner is conducted to demonstrate how sustainability concerns and effects can be integrated into agile software development.

  This research proposal aims to explore innovative solutions by focusing on the deployment of agents powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) The iterative nature of agents, which allows for continuous learning and adaptation, can help surpass common challenges in code generation. We aim to use the iterative feedback in these systems to further fine-tune the LLMs underlying the agents, becoming better aligned to the task of automated software improvement.

  Continuous Integration (CI) practices facilitate the seamless integration of code changes by employing automated building and testing processes. Some frameworks, such as Travis CI and GitHub Actions have significantly contributed to simplifying and enhancing the CI process. Developers continue to encounter difficulties in accurately flagging commits as either suitable for CI execution or as candidates for skipping.

• Genetic Micro-Programs for Automated Software Testing with Large Path Coverage [0.0]
  Existing software testing techniques focus on utilising search algorithms to discover input values that achieve high execution path coverage. This paper outlines a novel genetic programming framework, where the evolved solutions are not input values, but micro-programs that can repeatedly generate input values. We argue that our approach can be generalised such as to be applied to many different software systems, and is thus not specific to merely the particular software component on which it was trained.
