Abstract

ICST 2018 invites high quality submissions in all areas of software testing, verification, and valuation. Papers for the research track should present novel and original work that pushes the state–of–the–art in software testing, verification, and validation. Case studies and empirical research papers are also welcome. Topics of interest include, but is not limited to, the following (in alphabetic order): – Empirical Studies – Experience Reports – Formal Verification – Model Based Testing – Model Checking – Search Based Software Testing – Security Testing – Software Reliability – Testability and Design – Testing and Development Processes – Testing Education – Testing in specific domains, such as mobile, web, embedded, concurrent, distributed, cloud, and real–time systems – Testing/Debugging Tools – Theory of Software Testing ###Industry track The ICST Industry track focuses on the same topics and values the same rigor as the research track, yet papers featured in the industry track are distinct. What sets the industry track apart is that it values impact and realism over novelty. We expect that findings from industry track publications have the potential to impact practice in the 0–2 year range. Ideally they should have been evaluated on real–world, industrial data and discuss issues like scalability, costs and strategies for introduction in practice, and advancement compared to existing industrial best practice. The industry track papers have the same length limitations as research track papers and will be published in the ICST 2018 proceedings and listed by IEEE databases. ###PhD Symposium The symposium invites PhD students at all stages of their studies, from the first year students to those ready for their final dissertation defense. Benefits include feedbacks from a panel of senior researchers, networking with supportive researchers and potential collaborators, insightful keynote presentations, and lots of fun! A limited number of travel grants will be available. ###Special Issue We will invite authors of the best papers presented at ICST 2018 to extend and submit their work to a special issue of Journal of Software Testing, Verification, and Reliability (STVR). Both research and industry track papers are eligible and the final selection is made by the PC. ###Workshops, Other Tracks and Events at ICST 2018 ICST 2018 will also host the following tracks and events: – Tools and Demo track, to explain and showcase practical tools – Free tutorials targetted for impact in industry and practice – Workshops on specific areas related to testing, validation, and verification
