====== Web Application Testing Group ======

The web application testing group focuses on automated testing of the correctness of Web applications, including test-case generation, replaying test cases, and oracle comparators.  The work has an empirical focus: we evaluate our techniques on real Web applications to assess their effectiveness.  See the [[projects|projects]] page for more information about what projects we're currently working on and what we've done in the past and our [[news|news]] page to see what we've been up to.

We are actively looking for motivated students, interested in a research experience in Web applications, specifically in testing or related topics.

The past two summers, we worked at Dr. Lori Pollock's [[http://hiper.cis.udel.edu|Software Analysis and Compilation Lab]] at the University of Delaware.
