Research

Web application software uses new technologies that have novel methods for integration and state maintenance that amount to new control flow mechanisms and new variables scoping. Although powerful, these bring in new problems that current testing techniques do not adequately test for. Testing individual web software component in isolation cannot detect interaction faults, which occur in communication among web software components. Improperly implementing and testing the communications among web software components is a major source of faults. As mutation analysis has been shown to be effective in testing traditional software, my current research focuses on applying mutation testing to web applications. Ongoing experiments include comparing fault detection with independent test cases, comparing fault detection with other testing techniques, and analyzing redundancy in web mutation operators.
