Tsong Yueh Chen (Chinese: 陳宗岳) is an Australian academic at the Swinburne University of Technology who is a professor and researcher in program testing and debugging. He is ranked internationally as the most prolific author in metamorphic testing.

Chen received the BSc and MPhil from The University of Hong Kong, the MSc and DIC from Imperial College London, and the PhD from The University of Melbourne under the supervision of Jean-Louis Lassez. He has an h-index of 62.

In 2021, Chen et al. were selected as the Grand Champion of the Most Influential Paper Award by the “Journal of Systems and Software” for their 2010 paper.

In 2024, Chen was selected for the ACM SIGSOFT Outstanding Research Award 2024 “for contributions to software testing through the invention and development of metamorphic testing”. This award is presented to individual(s) who have made significant and lasting research contributions to the theory or practice of software engineering. The awardees are invited to give a keynote presentation at the ICSE conference.
