2.8 RESEARCH SOFTWARE

• GUITAR: Software testing is a critical component of the software development process and is required to ensure the safety, robustness and usability of software. Unfortunately, it is also complex, labor intensive and expensive, accounting for almost 67% of the total cost of software development. Hence, there has been significant research aimed at automating the testing process. Although automation has achieved some success, many problems remain. In particular, it is not yet clear how to automate the testing of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), which constitute an increasingly large portion of software systems (almost 50% of the total software code). The focus of my research is automated model-based testing of event-driven software; GUIs constitute one of the most popular sub-class of event-driven software. Most of the new techniques that I have developed for GUI testing have been implemented in a downloadable software called GUITAR.

  GUITAR has been downloaded by over 2500 users from all over the world, mostly from software development companies. Some of the features that make GUITAR usable are a help menu, a bug database powered by Bugzilla, user manuals, and FAQs. I have given seminars on GUITAR at numerous locations including NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (aaaprod.gsfc.nasa.gov/teas), Microsoft Research (research.microsoft.com), The National Institutes of Health (www.nih.gov), Fraunhofer Center for Experimental Software Engineering (fc-md.umd.edu), The Titan Corporation (www.titan.com), Avaya Labs Research (www.avaya.com), and Hughes Network Systems (www.hns.com). It was recently exhibited at CeBIT (www.cebit-america.com), a huge marketplace for software vendors and exhibitors.

  Users of GUITAR regularly report bugs via a bug database, maintained at bugs.cs.umd.edu. The GUITAR web-site serves as a discussion group; users are constantly informed of updates via a mailing list. Numerous practitioners have provided short-cuts to the GUITAR web-site through their own sites. Two popular examples include Software QA Testing and Test Tool Resources (www.aptest.com/resources.html) and DACS - Data & Analysis Center for Software - DACS - Software (www.dacs.dtic.mil/databases/url/key.php?keycode=3494:3500).

• ICE: In order to preserve the effectiveness of the World Wide Web (WWW) as a communication medium, web developers must have a keen understanding of how pages within their website are rendered to the diversely equipped Web audience. More specifically, since users explore the WWW with a wide variety of browser, browser version, and platform configurations, the display of individual web pages can be significantly different based on the actual browsing environment. Such differences can essentially threaten the ability for pages to be displayed and to function as the author intended resulting in documents with missing elements, improper text alignments, and malfunctioning scripts.

  Given that web page rendering is largely based on the tags that are contained within the HTML source code for the document and the relative support for a tag within a browsing environment, our approach to identifying page-to-browser compliancy issues is to scan the document source for the presence of tags known to be unsupported within specific browser/version/platform environments. As a result of our work, we have created a tool, the Internet Compliance Evaluator (ICE), that will evaluate compliancy for an entire website based on both predefined and, when necessary, user-specified sets of rules that specify the tags that are unsupported within specific environments. The ability of the tool to accept user-defined rules allows it to be much more flexible than current page-browser compliancy tools and, subsequently, more equipped to deal with newer compliancy rules as they evolve.

• TerpOffice: One of the biggest problems with software testing research is the unavailability of standard ``benchmarks'' for experimentation and evaluation of new testing techniques. To alleviate this problem, I have developed an OpenSource office suite software called TerpOffice for evaluation of new GUI testing techniques. TerpOffice is being used by numerous researchers for their experiments. For example, Amir Michail and Tao Xie recently used TerpOffice for their experiments reported in a paper entitled ``Helping Users Avoid Bugs in GUI Applications,'' published in the Proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2005), St. Louis, Missouri, USA, pp. 107-116, May 2005.

  To enable maximum dissemination, extra meta and derived information is also maintained as shared artifacts. These shared artifacts have evolved as demanded by researchers. For example, some researchers wanted to use only the source code; other more advanced researchers, wanted to have access to the software's requirement and design documents to make changes to it; yet others wanted to replicate experiments by using my fault-seeded versions of the software subjects. Consequently, I have made available requirements and design documents, source code, documents describing what the software does, how to use and modify it, development and evolution artifacts such as bug reports, results of experiments, derived artifacts such as event-flow graphs, test cases and tools such as test-case re-players, and fault-seeded versions of the code.

• OpticalCAD is a system that I developed during my MS Thesis for prototyping optical architectures. Users of OpticalCAD can describe an optical architecture setup involving optical components (such as lenses, holograms, mirrors, lasers) in an Optical Hardware Description Language (OHDL) that I developed. OpticalCAD carries out discrete event simulation of the optical architecture and reports problems (such as stray laser beams) and output.

3.2 COURSES OR CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

3.2.1 CMSC433 - Programming Language Technologies and Paradigm

• Traditionally this course has discussed advanced object-oriented programming concepts, restricted to the Java programming language. This course examines different programming paradigms - Object-oriented programming (OOP), logic programming, and functional programming. Due to its popularity, the OOP paradigm is discussed in detail, focusing on existing and emergining technologies used to implement object-oriented programs. Examples include UML, Design Patterns, Aspect-oriented Programming (AOP), refactoring, JUnit, and JavaDoc. The OOP paradigm can be significantly inefficient in certain domains and applications; some of these applications are examined and alternative paradigms like logic programming and functional programming studied. By the end of this course, students are familiar with the state-of-the-art in programming paradigms and associated technologies.

3.2.2 CMSC435 - Software Engineering

• Traditionally, the software engineering course has been taught with a practical component in which the students had to implement a project using software engineering principles. I have made significant modifications to the course by adding many lectures on software testing and revising the course project. The entire class represents a company (named TerpSoft) developing an office suite called TerpOffice. The first phase of the project requires the students to perform extensive regression testing of the existing version of TerpOffice. They then build a new version in subsequent phases and finally test it in the last phase of the project. The class is divided into groups, each working on a relatively independent part of TerpOffice (TerpManager, TerpDraw, TerpWord, TerpPresent, TerpSpreadSheet, and TerpPaint). Each group is further divided into the coding and testing team, with the project manager serving on the testing team. The students use testing tools to create thousands of test cases; they instrument the software's code and compute statement and branch coverage; they report all bugs using Buzilla (bugs.cs.umd.edu) and document their code using JavaDoc. CMSC435 has now become an extremely popular course since students are excited to learn new tools that they have never used before and are likely to use in the future.

3.2.3 CMSC838M - Advanced Topics in Software Testing

• I have developed (and taught five times) a new course that examines advanced software testing techniques. In particular, the important phases of testing are reviewed, emphasizing on the significance of each phase when testing different types of software. Students learn the state of the art in testing technology for object-oriented, component-based, concurrent, distributed, graphical-user interface, and web software. In addition, closely related concepts such as model checking and program analysis are also studied. Emerging concepts such as test-case prioritization and their impact on testing are examined. Students gain hands-on testing/analysis experience by proposing new solutions to open research problems in the field of software testing and experimentally demonstrate the strengths/weaknesses of their solutions.

3.2.4 CMSC737 - Fundamentals of Software Testing

• I have also developed a new course that examines the fundamental concepts in software testing. In particular, the important phases of testing are reviewed, emphasizing on the significance of each phase when testing different types of software. Students gain hands-on testing/analysis experience by using popular testing tools and creating test cases for several types of software.
