We're looking at what the most common words are in each application, what part of speech they are, patterns in the parts of speech for the whole resource. One problem I've been running into is that there are a lot of words that are hard to classify as nouns, adjectives or verbs without their context - for example grade can be a noun or a verb, abstract can be an adjective or a noun, etc. etc. e… text/html 2010-11-12T02:07:42+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://cswiki.wlu.edu/dokuwiki/doku.php/webapptesting/journals/cobb_notes/reading_papers_on_splitting_words?rev=1289527662&do=diff Reading Papers on Splitting Words In Code My most recent “new” project has been reading a couple of papers written by another group from the Delaware lab about how to automatically split code into words: “Mining Source Code to Automatically Split Identifiers for Software Analysis text/html 2010-10-08T14:37:22+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://cswiki.wlu.edu/dokuwiki/doku.php/webapptesting/journals/cobb_notes/sample_blog_entry?rev=1286548642&do=diff Sample Blog Entry It seems to be working :) text/html 2010-10-08T14:36:55+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://cswiki.wlu.edu/dokuwiki/doku.php/webapptesting/journals/cobb_notes/sant_et_al._paper_comments?rev=1286548615&do=diff Sant et al.

There have been a few challenges. Not all of the resources are easy to separate into individual words automatically. We looked into AMAP, which would have done a good job of figuring how to correctly split the resources, but decided that this was probably unnecessary for our purposes (the percentage of resou… text/html 2010-10-08T14:36:28+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://cswiki.wlu.edu/dokuwiki/doku.php/webapptesting/journals/cobb_notes/statistical?rev=1286548588&do=diff Statistical Testing of Web Applications Paper Comments Statement of the Problem/Goals: * Overall problem Websites used to be static, but are now dynamically generated.

I think that figuring out how to compactly and clearly state our problem, method and goals was really helpful for reminding me about the higher-level reasons for our research. It's really easy to get bogged down in the details. For ex. I looked for patterns in parts of speech for a long time and it was hard to admit that it just wasn't leading a… text/html 2010-10-22T15:04:32+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://cswiki.wlu.edu/dokuwiki/doku.php/webapptesting/journals/cobb_notes/update?rev=1287759872&do=diff Update! Since finishing with our paper reading, we've started to work on actually analysing data. I'm going to be looking into intersession dependencies. We intuit that sessions are dependent on one another. For example, a user registers on a website in one session, and in subsequent sessions logs in. The session with registration must come first in our test cases in order to have successful log ins in subsequent sessions. text/html 2010-10-08T14:36:55+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://cswiki.wlu.edu/dokuwiki/doku.php/webapptesting/journals/cobb_notes/update_-_first_several_weeks?rev=1286548615&do=diff Update - First Several Weeks Week 0 - Read the Sant Paper. Got my journal page on this blog set up (sort of). The group met and discussed the paper, and our specific project. This paper wasn't very hard for me to get through, partly because I saw it two summers ago, but I think I got a lot more out of it this time! I think we had some really productive discussion about what directions this research could take us and what factors might be important for generating good test cases for Web Apps.
