Abstract

<pre>Validation, testing and verification activities are already flourishing<br>areas with an active participation of a large community of researchers,<br>experts and industrials&#046; This community is highly aware of the<br>importance and impact of testing on the future deployment and use of<br>software and software intensive systems&#046; As illustrated during the two<br>previous successful ICST editions, intensive research activities are<br>being carried out in software testing, verification and validation<br>areas&#046; Many new important issues and challenges are constantly being<br>raised leading to new research and industrial projects&#046; The IEEE<br>International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation<br>(ICST) is the premier conference in these areas&#046;<br>ICST welcomes research papers as well as industrial experience reports<br>from software development and testing practitioners&#046; Two tracks will be<br>organised to select the accepted papers&#046; For the research papers, we are<br>looking for high quality papers presenting original work&#046; Industrial<br>papers should address practical software testing and quality<br>improvement, presenting empirical results or reporting on open problems&#046;<br>All papers should discuss broader implications and usage of the topics<br>addressed&#046;<br>Authors of best papers from the conference will be invited to revise and<br>submit extended versions of their papers for a special issue of Software<br>Testing, Verification, and Reliability (STVR), a Wiley journal&#046;<br>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>&#8211; Software testing theory and practice<br>&#8211; Model&#8211;based testing<br>&#8211; Domain specific testing including, but not limited to, security<br>testing, web services testing, database testing, and OO software testing<br>&#8211; Verification &amp; validation<br>&#8211; Quality assurance<br>&#8211; Model checking<br>&#8211; Empirical studies<br>&#8211; Metrics<br>&#8211; Fuzzing testing<br>&#8211; Inspections<br>&#8211; Tools<br>&#8211; Testability and diagnosability<br>&#8211; Design for testability<br>&#8211; Testing education<br>&#8211; Testing in multidisciplinary applications<br>&#8211; Embedded software<br>&#8211; Technology transfer<br>&#8211; Model&#8211;Driven Engineering<br>&#8211; Novel approaches to software reliability assessment</pre>
