Turning Scribbles into Science: A Tale of Undergraduate Research at Allegheny College

The Research in Computer Science Seminar Presents: Turning Scribbles into Science: A Tale of Undergraduate Research at Allegheny College

by: Adam Smith

Abstract

Undergraduate research is an amazing opportunity that few think of as being a possibility. The process of proposing an idea, obtaining the necessary funds, and completing the research can seem daunting, but is not necessarily out of reach. This talk will chronicle the events surrounding a software testing research project performed during the summer of 2007. We will also provide a detailed explanation of how a software testing tool uses three minimal set cover algorithms to reduce regression test suites. The presentation will offer an overview of the steps that an undergraduate should take to ensure a successful research experience at Allegheny College.
