Rate My Professor Antonio Garcia-Dominguez

Dr. Antonio Garcia-Dominguez is a Senior Lecturer in Software Engineering in the Department of Computer Science at the University of York, joining in July 2022 as part of the Automated Software Engineering research group. He received his PhD in 2013 from the University of Cadiz, Spain, for his work on model-driven engineering methods for designing performance tests for web service compositions. He also holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education teaching from a UK institution. His professional career encompasses a Lecturer in Computer Science position at Aston University from July 2016 to June 2022, during which he served concurrently as Technical Director at Beautiful Canoe from June 2018 to June 2022. Previously, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Cadiz from January 2014 to May 2015 on business intelligence for higher education institutions and at the University of York from June 2015 to April 2016 on scalable model management within the MONDO EU project.

Dr. Garcia-Dominguez specializes in software testing, with emphasis on mutation testing and metamorphic testing, model-driven software engineering for applications and technical infrastructure, and software engineering education. As an Eclipse committer since 2011 on the Epsilon open-source project, he leads the Hawk model indexer, an Eclipse Incubation project. He developed the AutoFeedback automated code feedback system and contributed to tools like MuBPEL for WS-BPEL mutation testing and enhancements to BPELUnit. His project involvement includes leading a work package on agent-to-agent communication in the MOSAICO EU project, coordinating the MONDO integration platform, and Knowledge Transfer Partnerships with Rolls-Royce and Leonardo UK. He supervises PhD students including Nathan Richardson as lead supervisor and Ionut Predoaia as co-supervisor, and has supervised several others to completion. Administratively, he serves as Deputy CBoE for Academic Misconduct (on-campus) and StAMP Committee member. His publication record exceeds 100 peer-reviewed items, including 'Streamlining the Development of Hybrid Graphical-Textual Model Editors' (2023), 'Cross-IDE Remote Debugging of Model Management Operations' (2024), 'Tempus: An Evolutionary Mutation Testing System on Event-Based Systems' (2025), and 'A Framework for Genetic Test-Case Generation for WS-BPEL Compositions' (2014).
