Web Application Testing Lab (WATL)
The web application testing group focuses on automated testing of the correctness of Web applications, including test-case generation, replaying test cases, and oracle comparators. The work has an empirical focus: we evaluate our techniques on real Web applications to assess their effectiveness. See the projects page for more information about what projects we're currently working on and what we've done in the past and our news page to see what we've been up to.
