ICST 2014 - 2014 International Conference on Software Testing, Verification, and Validation

We invite you to attend and participate in ICST 2014! Our focus for 2014 is to help move the field of testing forward by facilitating interactions between researchers and practitioners. Researchers have many innovative techniques and tools that could help address issues that practitioners face, while practitioners also face many issues that researchers are not aware of. We hope you will enjoy the conference and all Cleveland has to offer!
The IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation (ICST) is the premier conference in all areas related to software quality. Software systems present unique engineering challenges to the tester, not least because they can exhibit non-determinism and emergent behaviour. No other engineering artefact is more closely intertwined with the human activity, resulting in complex hybrid systems that involve software, human judgement and, sometimes, political, legal and social processes.
As a result, software verification&validation including testing, inspections, model analysis, safety certification, etc. draws upon a wide spectrum of disciplines, including engineering, mathematics and also psychology. It touches on all aspects of computer science and Software Engineering research and impacts every software practitioner.
ICST seeks to meet these problems by bringing together researchers and practitioners for a conference that includes all aspects of software testing. This years conference will include research papers, industrial experience reports, tool demonstrations, and tutorials. For the research papers, ICST seeks high quality original work. For the industrial experience reports, ICST seeks both papers or presentations that present real world experience from which others can benefit. Tool demonstrations are also welcome, especially those openly available for others to use. Finally, we are seeking tutorials that are relevant to both practitioners and researchers. See the specific calls for more details!
The conference will be hosted in Cleveland, Ohio in the USA. Cleveland has a long history of culture, arts, and music. See the Location & Travel page for more information on what Cleveland has to offer!
