RESEARCH PROJECTS
Validating Relational Database Systems at Scale via Learning-based Automated Testing
This research aims to fully automate the testing of relational database systems, focusing on test-case generation, reduction, and deduplication. By combining traditional and learning-based methods, the project seeks to improve testing efficiency. As part of our ongoing efforts, we have found more than 100 unique, previously unknown bugs in key systems.
SQLancer: Automatic Testing of Database Management Systems
SQLancer automatically finds logic bugs in Database Management Systems (DBMSs). We have used SQLancer to find and report over 500 unique, previously unknown bugs in widely-used DBMSs. In addition, SQLancer has been widely adopted in the industry.
