Elaine Jessica Weyuker is an ACM Fellow, [1] an IEEE Fellow (since 2003), [2] [3] and an AT&T Fellow at Bell Labs for research in software metrics and testing as well as elected to the National Academy of Engineering. [3] She is the author of over 130 papers in journals and refereed conference proceedings.
Weyuker received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Rutgers University, and an M.S.E. from the University of Pennsylvania.
Prior to moving to AT&T Labs, she was on the faculty of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University, was a faculty member at the City University of New York, a Systems' Engineer at IBM, and a programmer at Texaco. [4]
She was the chair of the ACM-W Council, a member of the executive committee of the Coalition to Diversify Computing, a member of the Rutgers University Graduate School Advisory Board, and was a member of the board of directors of the Computing Research Association. She is or was a member of the editorial boards of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing, IEEE Spectrum , the Empirical Software Engineering Journal, and the Journal of Systems and Software , and was a founding editor of the ACM Transactions of Software Engineering and Methodology. She was the Secretary/Treasurer of ACM SIGSOFT and was an ACM National Lecturer.
In 2002, Weyuker was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for "contributions to software testing, reliability, and measurement, and for the development of mathematical foundations for software testing". [5]
In 2004, she was given the Harlan D. Mills Award from the IEEE Computer Society, [3] "for leading research on rigorous software testing including industrial evaluations of the comparative effectiveness and costs of such testing methods." [6]
In 2007, Weyuker received the ACM SIGSOFT Outstanding Research Award for "deep and lasting contributions and impact to software engineering as a discipline", [7] and in 2008 she won the Anita Borg Institute, Technical Leadership Award for "outstanding research and technical leadership." [8]
She was awarded the ACM 2010 Presidential Award for "her tireless efforts in the development and growth of the ACM Women's Council". [9]
