DBTest 2010 Keynote
Title: Somebody Put a Database in My Software Testing Problem
Abstract: This talk will examine how interactions with a database affect approaches to several classical software testing problems -- test generation, test data adequacy assessment, the oracle problem, program analysis, and evaluation of effectiveness of fault detection techniques. We will summarize several approaches to these database application testing problems and discuss research challenges.
Speaker: Phyllis Frankl (Professor,
Dept. of Computer and Information Science at Polytechnic Institute of NYU)
Phyllis Frankl is a Professor of Computer Science at the Polytechnic
Institute of New York University. She holds a PhD in Computer Science from
the Courant Institute of NYU. Her research has addressed many aspects of
software testing, including development tools and techniques for generating
test data and assessing test data adequacy, as well as evaluation of
effectiveness of testing techniques. In recent years, this work has focused
on analyzing and testing database application programs. Professor Frankl's
research has been funded by grants from the National Science Foundation,
NYSTAR, and industry. She is an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on
Software Engineering and has served on program committees of many software
engineering conferences.
