Title: REU Site: Secure Software Testing for Web and Mobile Applications: Research Experience for UndergraduatesThis project establishes an REU Site on the topic of secure software testing for web and mobile applications, at the University of North Texas. The project's intellectual merits are that it exposes students to an intense research experience that focuses on software testing with an emphasis on techniques that may help to increase security and reliability of web and mobile applications. The project's broader significance and importance are that it trains three diverse cohorts of ten students each in summers 2015, 2016, and 2017 to provide them with a supportive environment and research experience that encourages them to pursue graduate studies in Computer Science. The students are better prepared to enter the graduate school pipeline as they gain an understanding of basic research skills.Students work in collaborative teams that explore research questions in areas such as test suite generation, test suite prioritization, test suite reduction, attack surface analysis, and sanitization validation techniques. Empirical studies examine the techniques in the context of web and mobile applications.

标题：REU站点：网络和移动应用程序的安全软件测试：本科生的研究经验该项目在北德克萨斯大学建立了一个关于网络和移动应用程序的安全软件测试主题的REU站点。该项目的智力优势在于，它让学生们有机会获得专注于软件测试的密集研究经验，重点是可能有助于提高网络和移动应用程序的安全性和可靠性的技术。该项目更广泛的意义和重要性在于，它在2015年、2016年和2017年的夏季培养了三组不同的学生，每组10人，为他们提供一个支持性的环境和研究经验，鼓励他们攻读计算机科学的研究生课程。当学生们了解了基本的研究技能后，他们为进入研究生院做了更好的准备。学生在协作团队中工作，探索诸如测试套件生成、测试套件优先级排序、测试套件缩减、攻击面分析和消毒验证技术等领域的研究问题。实证研究考察了网络和移动应用程序背景下的技术。
