    Research Experience for Undergraudates (REU) is a program that pays students to do research at Universities across the country. I was lucky enough to be part of a group that worked at University of North Texas (UNT) on automated bug detection.

    The research consisted of seeding bugs into a piece of software, and then attempting to come up with a set of functional tests that would find as many of the bugs as possible.

    After the program was done, I continued by exploring methods of generating flows to automatically generate test data with single page web apps by using JavaScript and Xpaths to generate Selenium flows. I was able to come up with a basic proof of concept.

    Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)
    • Performed research to estimate number of seeded bugs found in production.
    • Test cases were developed from outside the research group. The research group then used Selenium to play back test cases and several in-house scripts to determine if a bug was found.
    • Continued personal research from this project includes moving the test case generation and playback testing onto the client side with Javascript and recording pathways within a web app using Xpaths.
