REU Site: Secure Software Testing for Web and Mobile Applications: Research Experience for Undergraduates

职务名称：REU研究中心：Web和移动的应用程序的安全软件测试：本科生的研究经验本项目在北德克萨斯大学建立了一个关于Web和移动的应用程序的安全软件测试主题的REU网站。该项目的智力优势在于，它使学生接触到集中于软件测试的密集研究经验，重点是可能有助于提高Web和移动的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年夏季分别培训了三个不同的10名学生，为他们提供支持性的环境和研究经验，鼓励他们攻读计算机科学研究生课程。学生们将在团队合作的基础上，探索测试套件生成、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。实证研究的背景下，Web和移动的应用程序检查的技术。

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.
