[5][6]: 87 In 2013, an international event entitled "The Symposium on Engineering Test Harness" was held in Nanjing, China "in honor of the retirement of T.H.

[8][9][10] In 2019, Tse and team applied metamorphic testing to verify the robustness of citation indexing services, including Scopus and Web of Science.

The innovative method, known as "metamorphic robustness testing", revealed that the presence of simple hyphens in the titles of scholarly papers adversely affects citation counts and journal impact factors, regardless of the quality of the publications.

[11][12] This "bizarre new finding",[13] as well as the refutation by Web of Science and the clarification by Tse, was reported in ScienceAlert,[13] Nature Index,[14] Communications of the ACM,[15] Psychology Today,[16] and The Australian.

[21][22] This award is presented to individual(s) who have made significant and lasting research contributions to the theory or practice of software engineering.
