Description: Methodologies and tools are necessary in helping reduce the amount of labor and expense associated with all aspects of software testing. The management of test cases and test data, while only a portion of the overall test process, is difficult and tedious as well as being quite expensive.
Hewlett-Packard software test engineers have a need for a tool to manage test cases for input into an existing software test automation harness. This tool will allow the test engineer to build a collection of test cases from lists of device and system properties and produce a test case file useable by the test automation harness.
Team 2 Developers: Chris Holmes, Keith Felt, Scott Witschen
Sponsor: Robert Heckendorn, University of Idaho, Computer Science Dept.
Description: Building a command-line
driven interface with a database back-end to support existing software packages
that Dr. Heckendorn uses tocalculate, measure, record, and review information
from mathematical functions.

Description:The Investigator's Advisor Tool is designed to be used as an observation tool to discern when and how particular intrusions occur in a computer system. The tool uses a collection of known attack scenarios represented as Petri nets and then applies system event observations to determine if a compromise state has been reached. Current attack status is displayed graphically.

Description: The goal of the Sea BASS
project is to develop an interface for providing authorization for access to
resources. It will be developed on the UNIX system and will not use
traditional Access Control List technology. Conversely, the authentication
will be based on
certificates. Objects in the Sea BASS system will have both credential
certificates dealing with identification and policy certificates dealing with
managing the object's resources. An API is to be developed which will
allow a generic authentication interface between the virtual "system"
and applications written to run on that system.
