 ====== Web Application Testing ======
-The increased availability and continuous use of the web for daily operations by businesses, consumers, and government has popularized e-commerce and created a great demand for reliable web applications. One promising approach to testing the functionality of web applications leverages user session data collected by web servers. Some of the goals of this research are
+The increased availability and continuous use of the web for daily operations by businesses, consumers, and government has popularized e-commerce and created a great demand for reliable web applications.  We have developed automated approaches to improve many stages of the testing process within a customizable framework.  Our work focuses on test-suite reduction, oracle comparators, test-suite replay, and test-case generation.
+**Our Goals**
   * To perform scalable test suite reduction of user sessions and generate reduced suites that are efficient in terms of program coverage and fault detection ability.
   * To perform dynamic analysis of user sessions to understand the usage and dynamic behavior of web applications and to motivate the reduction techniques developed.
-  * To develop a customizable, automated framework for scalable testing of web applications. Our objectives are that the tool provides accurate testing of the application and adapts to an evolving test suite and the application's changing operational profiles.
+  * To develop a customizable, automated framework for scalable testing of web applications.  We have developed pluggable oracle comparators, test-case replay mechanisms, and test-case generation algorithms that plug into this framework.
