On February 22, 2010, Kav Shrestha, a Ph.D. student working with me, successfully defended his MS Thesis entitled "An Empirical Evaluation of the Effectiveness of JML Assertions as Test Oracles". Committee members were Dr. Mohammad Mahoor (http://www.engr.du.edu/mmahoor/), Dr. Susanne Sherba (http://www.cs.du.edu/~susherba) and myself.

Abstract:

Test oracles remain one of the least understood aspects of the modern testing process.
An oracle is a mechanism used by software testers and software engineers for

A paper, entitled "Simplifying Parallel and Distributed Simulation with the DUP System" was recently accepted for publication at the 43rd Annual Simulation Symposium (ANSS'10).
