iTrust was written to conform to a MySQL<sup>8</sup> back-end. The MySQL JDBC connector was used to implement the data storage for the web application by connecting to a remotely executing instance of MySQL v5.1.11-remote-nt. The <code>java.sql.PreparedStatement</code> class is one way of representing SQL statements in the JDBC framework. Statement objects contain a series of overloaded methods all beginning with the word execute: <code>execute(…)</code>, <code>executeQuery(…)</code>, <code>executeUpdate(…)</code>, and <code>executeBatch()</code>. These methods are the java.sql way of issuing commands to the database and each of them represents a potential change to the database. These method calls, which we have previously introduced as ''target statements'', are the focus of our coverage metrics.

The version of iTrust we used for this study is referred to as iTrust Fall 2007, named by the year and semester it was built and redistributed to a new set of graduate students. iTrust was written to execute in Java 1.6 and thus our testing was conducted with the corresponding JRE. Code instrumentation and testing were conducted in Eclipse v3.3 Europa on an IBM Lenovo T61p running Windows Vista Ultimate with a 2.40Ghz Intel Core Duo and 2 GB of RAM.
