T.H. Tse (Chinese: 謝俊謙) is a professor and researcher in program testing and debugging. He is ranked internationally as No. 2 among experts in test oracles and No. 2 among experts in metamorphic testing.[1][2][3][4] The application areas of his research include object-oriented software, services computing, pervasive computing, concurrent systems, imaging software, and numerical programs. In addition, he creates graphic designs for non-government organizations.[5]

Tse received the PhD from the London School of Economics in 1988 under the supervision of Frank Land and Ian Angell.[6] He was a Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford in 1990 and 1992. He is currently an honorary professor in computer science at The University of Hong Kong after retiring from his full professorship in 2014. He was decorated with an MBE by The Queen of the United Kingdom.[7][8]

In 2017, Tse sparked a $100 million gift from a generous donor Mrs May Tam to The University of Hong Kong, thus establishing the iconic Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing at the Faculty of Engineering.[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,[14] Nature Index,[15] Communications of the ACM,[16] Psychology Today,[17] and The Australian.[18]
