About my Research

Software testing is an expensive, yet imperfect process. Software systems can be large and exhaustive testing is usually not feasible. Products released with inadequate testing can cause bodily harm, result in large economic losses, and affect the quality of day-to-day life. My primary research goal is to develop and examine new software testing techniques that may help testers to more effectively identify software defects. Software testers often intuitively test for defects that they anticipate while less foreseen defects are overlooked. My research applies combinatorial testing strategies that may offset some degree of human bias.

About Me

I completed my PhD in Computer Science at Arizona State University in 2006. My dissertation was titled, Algorithms for Covering Arrays. Covering arrays are interesting to me because they can be used to represent combinatorial test suites. I am currently working on applications of combinatorial testing to GUIs and web applications.

I joined the Computer Science department at Utah State University in 2009. My husband is also an Assistant Professor in the same department, but his research focuses on AI. Outside of work, we enjoy gardening, hiking, and taking walks. I have one sister and one brother. My sister is a school teacher in South Korea. My brother is an undergraduate at Harvard with plans to become a neurologist. He also produced and co-directed a play last year.
