SCOPE
Information system development is a human intensive activity and over the years the need for a disciplined approach for development of better quality and reliable Information system has led to the evolving field of Information system development (ISD). The Information system community continually attempts to develop technologies and methodologies to enable easier, faster and cheaper ways to build high quality information systems. One of the main elements of information system quality assurance is information system testing or verification as it represents the ultimate review of specification, design and code generation. Despite the use of testing tools and methods in Information system development, systems are constantly delivered with an unreasonable amount of failures. These failures are not found, in part, because of inadequate testing tools and methodologies. To avoid these failures new techniques for Information system testing have been proposed such as Model Based Testing (MBT). MBT is expected to allow more adequate information testing because it is rooted in automated procedures, avoiding manual error prone activities.
This special session aims at being a forum for researchers, developers, testers and users to discuss about new approaches, methodologies, tools and experiences in the field of testing. We invite authors to submit papers describing results of theoretical or experimental research or describing approaches and means to introduce new testing methodologies in industrial contexts.
