REU Site: Software Testing: Foundations, Tools and Applications

这笔资金在东卡罗来纳大学建立了一个新的CEISE本科生研究经验(REU)网站。该网站的重点是软件测试的基础、工具和应用程序。软件测试是保证软件系统质量的重要手段。改进软件测试的基础、工具和应用程序将有助于提高软件系统的质量，降低软件开发的成本。该网站将为本科生提供软件测试方面的研究经验，并通过参与活动为他们提供坚实的研究基础，例如为软件测试中的基本问题开发解决方案和算法，开发工具以提高测试效率和性能，以及测试复杂的真实系统。该网站将为30名本科生提供机会，在三年内参与一个鼓励他们继续计算机科学研究生学习的支持性环境。REU项目还将为学生提供一个在暑期项目结束后与他们的教师导师和/或学生同行合作的机会。

This funding establishes a new CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at East Carolina University. The focus of the site is on the foundations, tools, and applications of software testing. Software testing is widely used to ensure the quality of software systems. Improvements to the foundations, tools, and applications of software testing will help improve the quality of software systems and reduce the cost of software development. The site will provide undergraduate students with research experience in software testing and give them a solid research foundation by participating in activities, such as developing solutions and algorithms for fundamental issues in software testing, developing tools to improve testing effectiveness and performance, and testing complex real systems.This site will provide the opportunity for 30 undergraduate students over three years to participate in a supportive environment that encourages them to pursue graduate studies in computer science. The REU project will also provide students an opportunity to collaborate with their faculty mentors and/or student peers after the summer program.
