Worked as Research Assistant with Dr. Jeff Tian in the Dept of Computer Science and Engineering, SMU, Dallas, TX.

Below is the list of Research Publications in the area of Web Testing and Reliability Engineering:

  • C. Kallepalli and J. Tian, "Measuring and Modeling Usage and Reliability for Statistical Web Testing", IEEE Trans. on Software Engineering, Vol.27, No.11, pp.1023-1036, Nov. 2001.

    Abstract: Statistical testing and reliability analysis can be used effectively to assure quality for Web applications. To support this strategy, we extract Web usage and failure information from existing Web logs. The usage information is used to build models for statistical Web testing. The related failure information is used to measure the reliability of Web applications and the potential effectiveness of statistical Web testing. We applied this approach to analyze some actual Web logs. The results demonstrated the viability and effectiveness of our approach.

  • C. Kallepalli and J.Tian, "Usage Measurement for Statistical Web Testing and Reliability Analysis", 7th International Software Metrics Symposium, pp.148-158, London, England, April, 2001.

    Abstract: In this paper, we gather web usage and related failure information by analyzing various web logs commonly kept for system administration purposes. The usage information can be used to build models for statistical web testing. The related failure information can be used to measure the reliability of web applications. In addition, these data can be used to measure the potential effectiveness of statistical web testing. We applied this approach to analyze the web logs of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Southern Methodist University. The results demonstrated the viability and effectiveness of our approach.
