1st International Conference on Automation of Software Test, Seoul, South Korea,

The 1st IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automation of Software Test The increasing complexity, pervasiveness and inter-connection of software systems on the one hand, and the ever-shrinking development cycles and time-to-market on the other, make the automation of software test (AST) an urgent requirement today more than ever. Despite significant achievements both in theory and practice, AST remains a challenging research area. Successfully held at ICSE since 2006, the AST series offers researchers and practitioners a dynamic and interactive forum for exchanging ideas, problems and experiences, for presenting timely promising solutions and sharing visions. After running 14 editions as an ICSE workshop, in 2020 AST transforms itself into the format of a co-located conference to provide more space and opportunity for discussions, and obtain increased visibility of results. We look forward to welcoming you at the 1st AST conference in Seoul!
