abstract = "We describe the deployment of the Sapienz Search Based
Software Engineering (SBSE) testing system. Sapienz has
been deployed in production at Facebook since September
2017 to design test cases, localise and triage crashes
to developers and to monitor their fixes. Since then,
running in fully continuous integration within
Facebook's production development process, Sapienz has
been testing Facebook's Android app, which consists of
millions of lines of code and is used daily by hundreds
of millions of people around the globe.
We continue to build on the Sapienz infrastructure, extending it to provide other software engineering services, applying it to other apps and platforms, and hope this will yield further industrial interest in and uptake of SBSE (and hybridisations of SBSE) as a result.",

notes = "This paper was written to accompany the keynote by
Mark Harman at the 10th Symposium on Search-Based
Software Engineering (SSBSE 2018), Montpellier
September 8-10, 2018. The paper represents the work of
all the authors in realising the deployment of search
based approaches to large-scale software engineering at
Facebook. Author name order is alphabetical; the order
is thus not intended to denote any information about
the relative contribution of each author.
Ke Mao will also be giving a related talk about Sapienz deployment to developers at the @Scale developers conference in San Jose, USA on 13 September 2018 https://atscaleconference.com/events/the-2018-scale-conference/
A video of a previous talk about the initial Sapienz deployment, presented at the F8 developers conference in May 2018, is also publicly available (also as high quality video recording and with no paywall): https://developers.facebook.com/videos/f8-2018/friction-free-fault-finding-with-sapienz/
also known as \cite{ssbse18-keynote}",
