The first Joining AcadeMiA and Industry Contributions to
testing Automation Workshop, JAMAICA 2013
July 15th 2013 ? Lugano, Switzerland
Co-located with ISSTA 2013
Submission deadline: 15th of April
------------------------------
In industrial software systems, testing activities account for more than
50% of total development effort. People strive to find solutions able to
reduce cost without compromising the final quality. A key role in this
scenario is played by testing automation. Although its importance is
well-recognized, there is still poor interaction between academia and
industry. On one hand, theoretically sound solutions remain unapplied in
real industrial settings; on the other hand, practitioners from industry
do not invest on new methodologies and tools if they do not see an
immediate gain.
In such a vicious cycle, the JAMAICA workshop intends to foster the
discussion on the current practices for automating testing activities in
industry, so as to bring the attention of the community on the impact
that such practices may have on the overall cost/quality trade-off and
on the development cycle.
Methodological, technical, and practical solutions, as well as concrete
experiences and case-study in modern software systems will be presented
and discussed, regarding all the types of test automation activities,
including code-driven testing, model-based and model-driven testing,
regression testing automation, oriented toward the minimization of
manual error-prone activities in test cases generation and execution.
Submission Guidelines
Original papers, up to 6 pages, are solicited for the workshop. All
contributions will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited, to the following:
- Software test automation in the context of: model-driven engineering,
component-based development, agile, service-oriented & agent-oriented
methodologies
- Testing Tools and Open source platforms enabling test automation
- Methodologies and techniques for Automatic generation and execution of
test cases
- Contribution to Testing related standards for automation
- Cloud computing platforms for enabling test execution in distributed
environments
- Practical experiences and issues in the development, operation and
maintenance of industrial testing environments
Papers will be accepted only by electronic submission through the
EasyChair conference system:
https://www.easychair.org/
Submitted papers should be in PDF format and should comply the ACM
policies that can be found at:
http://www.acm.org/
All submissions must be in English. Submissions that do not adhere to
these guidelines or that violate formatting will be declined without review.
Conference Proceedings
The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM and will be
distributed together with the ISSTA 2013 conference proceedings in a USB
pen drive. No printed copy of the proceedings will be available at the
conference.
