THE RISKS ARE OBVIOUS.
BUT PERHAPS NOT OBVIOUS ENOUGH.
Peter G. Neumann
11 September 2001 will be painfully remembered by most of the planet's
population for the coordinated hijacking of four jetliners and the
ensuing surprise attacks on New York City's World Trade Center and the
Pentagon, with thousands of lives lost and enormous consequential
after-effects. Our hearts go out to everyone close to those who were so
irrevocably affected -- including the crash victims, the firemen and
other emergency workers in New York City, and especially the UA93
passengers whose efforts evidently saved the lives of others.
We are once again reminded how fragile our lives and civic
infrastructures are, and how interdependent we all are. Although
violent and sudden large-scale termination of people's lives has
previously been all too familiar in many countries of the world, many of
us have hitherto largely taken too much for granted. Hopefully, the
aftermath of this fateful day will dramatically increase public
awareness of some of the vulnerabilities in our lives and risks to our
freedom.
However, the events should come as no surprise, because many warnings
have been widely ignored. For example, the President's Commission on
Critical Infrastructure Protection of the previous U.S. Administration
identified serious vulnerabilities in telecommunications, electric power
and other energy sources, transportation, financial services, emergency
services, and government continuity. It noted how interdependent these
critical infrastructures are, and how they are all related to
information technologies. It also observed difficulties in coordination
among and within different infrastructures, and perhaps most relevant, a
general lack of public awareness. In many respects, complacency has
been seen across the board in response to that report. In addition, the
White House Commission on Safety and Security (the Gore Commission)
identified many serious risks in aviation. (Also, see my paper
<http://www.csl.sri.com/neumann/air.html>, presented at the January 1997
International Conference on Aviation Safety and Security, co-sponsored
by that commission and George Washington University.) Various analyses
of commercial aviation and air-traffic control over the past 18 years
within the Department of Transportation have identified potentially
serious vulnerabilities that merit closer attention. More recently, a
U.S. General Accounting Office report identified many serious problems
in airport security. But, perhaps because the risks and threat levels
seemed low, or possibly because institutional bureaucracy is so deeply
entrenched, very little action was deemed necessary. Unfortunately,
some of the issues recognized therein have now come home to roost.
As a society, we in the U.S. seem to be unwilling to take certain
prudent precautions -- perhaps because they would cost too much, or be
too inconvenient, or would seriously degrade service. Apparently, we
suffer from a serious lack of foresight.
The Risks Forum has persistently considered risks associated with our
technologies and their uses, but we often note that many of the crises
and other risk-related problems have resulted from low-tech events,
misguided human behavior, or malicious misbehavior. In short, the
typical search for high-tech solutions to problems stemming from social,
economic, and geopolitical causes has frequently ignored more basic
issues. Over-endowing high-tech solutions is riskful in the absence of
adequate understanding of the limitations of the technology and the
frailties and perversities of human nature. Whereas there are high-tech
solutions that might be effective if properly used, we should also be
examining some low-tech and no-tech approaches.
One pervasive theme in the Risks Forum over the past 16 years has been
the ubiquity of systemic vulnerabilities relating to security,
reliability, availability, and overall survivability, with respect to
human enterprises, society at large, and to systems, applications, and
enterprises based on information technologies. Evidently, we still have
much to learn.
Let us seek to build a better world, and remain true to our human values
and constitutional foundations. Also, let us beware of seeming
solutions -- technological or otherwise -- that result in further
escalation of the risks. Sadly, because of the inherent vulnerabilities
in those seeming solutions, we are always at risk, whether we realize it
or not.

Stevens Institute of Technology:
Master of Science in Quantitative Software Engineering
Program Description: Stevens Institute of Technology offers a Master of
Science in Quantitative Software Engineering. It differs drastically
from other programs in that:
* It is quantitative and problem-solving-oriented rather than
qualitative
* It deals with the execution and management of small, medium and
large software projects
* It recognizes that software process is not one-size-fits-all, but,
rather, must be tailored to the situation at hand
* Like the best MBA programs, it is hands-on in that every course is
based on actual case histories, not case histories to be read, but,
rather, case histories to be worked through by teams of students *
like the best MBA programs, its admission criteria are very high
* Its co-directors are a Fellow of both the ACM and the IEEE with a
distinguished thirty-five year career of software project management
for Bell Laboratories, and a software research supervisor/educator
with twenty-seven years of experience.
* Its instructors all have extensive industry experience and are
hand-picked by the co-directors
* Its courses are content-coordinated with one another by the co-
directors. Content coordination is facilitated by the fact that the
program is lock step, with all students taking the same two courses
each trimester, and with at least one of the co-directors attending
all classes
* It is practice-motivated rather than theory-motivated; that is,
where theory is necessary, it is motivated through the use of
critical examples
* Classes are held on Saturdays so as not to interfere with the work
week
* It is completed in five 12-week trimesters over eighteen months
* There are breaks for Thanksgiving, the holiday season and New Years,
and the months of July and August
* It follows the IEEE-sponsored Software Engineering Body of Knowledge
guidelines
The program is aimed at teaching people how to produce reliable, secure
software on time and within budget. It will prepare experienced
software practitioners for technical, management, and entrepreneurial
leadership.
Every student takes two courses during each 12-week trimester. Classes
meet Saturday mornings and afternoons. Each course earns three credits
toward the 30-credit degree. Holiday breaks include Thanksgiving, a
mid-winter recess, Easter, and the months of July and August.
The program emphasizes modern software engineering techniques and
disciplines, including:
* requirements
* analysis and design
* component-based architecture
* configuration management
* testing, verification, and validation
* group dynamics
* management dynamics
Students hone their skills as members of software development teams.
After completing the course of study, all students are prepared to
effectively lead software groups and some are prepared to become
executives in software development organizations.
Acceptance Criteria: Students must have either an undergraduate degree
in Computer Science or Computer Engineering with a notable grade point
average and/or notable extracurricular achievements, or, alternatively,
an undergraduate degree in another field and extensive on-the-job
experience in software development. A working knowledge of a
programming language is mandatory; C++ is the preferred language.
Application involves a written exam, an interview, and at least one
letter of recommendation. Applicants should understand that letters of
recommendation should be specific as to the applicant's achievements
rather than generally laudatory. Interview dates for classes beginning
in January, 2002 are: October 20, November 10, December 1, and December
8. First trimester courses will begin on January 12, 2002.
Difference Between MS in CS and MS in QSE: The MS program in Computer
Science focuses on the fundamental underpinnings of computers and
software. It is geared towards the student who wants to know the why as
well as the how. A Computer Science graduate can anticipate and
contribute to technical developments in this rapidly changing field.
Students in this program tend to be technical innovators.
The MS program in Quantitative Software Engineering emphasizes the
skills needed to apply software technologies to the realization of
software products on time, within budget and with known quality. The MS
in Quantitative Software Engineering is geared towards three kinds of
student:
* The formally educated computer professional who aspires to a
managerial career and wants comprehensive hands-on training in the
skills needed to identify customer requirements, develop software
designs, manage a software development team and evaluate the
resulting software product relative to customer specifications.
* The formally educated computer professional who wants to remain an
individual contributor yet wants a solid foundation in the practical
application of Computer Science technology to the realization of
software products
* The computer professional whose educational background is not in
computer science or computer engineering, but who has learned
software skills on the job and who now wants a software engineering
education.
Courses:
Introduction to Software Engineering
Software Requirements Acquisition and Analysis
Software Architecture and Component-based Design.
Software Construction and Configuration Management.
Software Testing, Quality Assurance, and Maintenance.
Software Cost Estimation, Microeconomics and Process.
Software Technology, Tools and Methods.
Software Project (three trimesters)

eValid Announces Complete WebSite QA & Test Suite
Complete Press Release:
<http://www.soft.com/eValid/Promotion/PressReleases/PR.17Sep01.html>
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Software Research, Inc. has announced availability
of eV.Manager, a WebSite Test Management product, as part of the eValid
family of browser-based WebSite QA & Test products. The new eV.Manager
capability -- combined with existing eValid products -- makes eValid a
Complete WebSite QA & Test Suite.
eV.Manager is an eValid product aimed at efficient management and
control of collections of WebSite tests -- 100-1000 or more tests at a
time. eV.Manager provides for interactive selection of tests and test
groups, hierarchical control of test suite structure, and integrated
regression testing results logging and reporting. eV.Manager provides
e-Business managers with a coherent, low cost means to maximize the
return on limited WebSite and IntraNet testing resources.
o o o o o o
The eValid WebSite QA & Test Suite now supports automated client-side
quality analysis of WebSites in ways never before available in a single
product line.
"QA/Test managers of major WebSites want to be able to run a wide
range of tests -- including detailed static analyses, dynamic
functional tests, load tests, and detailed timing tests -- in a
simple and straightforward way. And, they want the results to be
100% reflective of what their users are seeing. That's the reason
why we've released eValid Ver. 3.0's latest build as an integrated
suite," said Edward Miller, Chairman of Software Research, Inc.
"eValid now really is a complete WebSite QA & Test Suite -- a
fully integrated set of products. Combining the already-powerful
functional test capability with eV.SiteMap (the WebSite spider in
a browser), eV.Manager (test suite manager), eV.Generate (test
data generator), and eV.Coverage (test coverage analyzer) WebSite
QA/Test Managers can have every analysis and test function they
want -- all in one super easy-to-use system. And, "eValid is very
moderately priced, so it won't eat up your entire budget," Miller
concluded.
The eValid InBrowser test engine represents a major technology advance.
Embedding test functionality into a browser assures high accuracy and
provides for very detailed WebSite analysis capabilities. The result is
a general WebSite test engine that combines WebSite mapping, functional
testing and content validation, load and capacity analysis, and detailed
WebSite timing and page tuning. eValid is a complete WebSite quality
checking system in one complete package. eValid is quick to download
and install, has a very easy-to-use GUI accessed entirely from the
eValid browser toolbar, and produces realistic, accurate, and important
results very quickly. Even more important, you and your test experience
exactly what the users of your WebSite experience.
Each product in the eValid QA & Test Suite is licensed separately, and
mostly can operate independently of the others. Products can be
purchased separately or in various combinations so users can make up
their own custom-configured product suite.
Complete details at: <http://www.e-valid.com>
o o o o o o
The eValid WebSite QA & Test Suite offers the following product
functionalities:
o eV.SiteMap: Dynamic Quality Analysis.
eValid supports controlled depth, breadth and length searches of
WebSites and sub-WebSites direct from the browser using a variety of
search protocols for a range of link extensions. Searches can be
done int the foreground (fully rendered) or in two background modes.
As SiteMap downloads all pages in the selected WebSite it generates
real-time filter reports showing: pages loading slower than a
specified time limit; pages download more than a specified byte
count; pages that are unavailable (don't exist, server down, etc.);
off-site pages; pages that are older than a specified age; pages that
contain a match a specified search criterion. SiteMap reports are
on-screen and printable.
o eV.Test: Functional Test and Validation.
eValid's functional testing capability offers full user recording
with multiple content validation modes: content, document features,
URLs, text fragments, selected images, image parts, and Java applets.
eValid captures user-selected highlighted text and reports
differences during playback, independent of page size or rendering
details. Sizes and properties of images are reported and check-sum
validation makes it possible to validate the exact content of an
image. Wizards make it possible to exercise all links on a page, push
all buttons on a FORM, and manipulate a FORM's complete contents.
eValid includes advanced recording features for Java applets, ActiveX
controls, Modal Dialogs and fully supports JavaScript and VBScript.
eValid generates a variety of current test and all-test (history)
charts, providing instant visual test results.
o eV.Manager: Test Suite Manager.
eValid's Test Suite Manager is aimed at efficient control of WebSite
test suites in the 100-1000-test range. It provides for hierarchical
control of all tests and test results, sophisticated actual-test
selection, interactive selection of current and archived test
results, full test logging, plus easy-to-read graphic reports.
o eV.LoadTest: WebSite Server Loading.
eValid provides accurate loading and capacity analysis by
automatically launching hundreds of browsers on a single PC using a
LoadTest feature to chain multiple scripts into realistic loading
scenarios. User scenario simulations are more accurate than existing
technology because they load your WebSite in exactly the same way as
a real browser. The program provides graphic performance charts with
full timing details of every part of a page download, making it easy
to visually identify slow loading components. A cache management
feature makes it possible to play back tests with no cache or an
initially empty cache, with or without cookies.
o eV.Generate: Test Data Generation.
eValid's Test Data Generator produces test scripts based on
manipulation of test templates, with values extracted from a test
table in a variety of methods.
o eV.Timer: Response Timing and Page Tuning.
eValid offers complete detailed base-page and component download
timings including page rendering times. Page tuning data and
performance timings can be provided to 1 millisecond resolution. A
wide range of built-in graphical charting capability portrays event
logs, timing data, performance and LoadTest results graphically.
o eV.Coverage: Test Completeness Checking.
eValid's Test Coverage Checker provides the ability to measure test
suite completeness relative to Java applets using on-line data
collection and reporting.
o o o o o o
eV.Manager is priced at $1,950. Other eValid, licenses start at $950
for the basic record/playback capability. Separate licenses in various
eValid product combinations are available. A complete license with all
eValid functionality (SiteMap, Functional Test, Data Generation,
Loading, Timing/Tuning and Test Suite Management) is available at
special bundle prices. Demonstration versions of the product are
available for download at <http://www.e-valid.com>
