TESTBEDS 2013 - 4th International Workshop on TESTing Techniques & Experimentation Benchmarks for Event-Driven Software (TESTBEDS 2013)

Event-driven software (EDS) applications, applications whose control-flow is dependent on responses to stimuli, have become ubiquitous. These include systems with graphical user interfaces (GUIs), web applications, network protocols, some embedded software, device drivers and systems composed of services. TESTBEDS has proven to be a successful workshop that brings together researchers, experimenters, developers, users, and practitioners to discuss and exchange ideas and experiences in testing EDS for correctness. The 2013 event will feature a keynote presentation, paper presentations, tool demonstrations, and a 2-hour hands-on session on ``how to conduct experiments'' using EDS software artifacts and tools from the COMET repository (http://comet.unl.edu). In a tutorial-like setting, participants will learn how to use these artifacts to develop a research or practical hypothesis, and design and execute an experiment to prove/disprove the hypothesis. We invite submissions of 8-page full-length and 4-page position papers as well as 4-page tool demonstration papers, and industrial presentations. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the International program committee from both Academia and Industry. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE digital library.
