AIMS:

Recent years have seen an increasing interest in the application of
constraint solving techniques to the testing and analysis of software
systems. A significant body of constraint-based techniques have been
proposed and investigated in model-based testing, code-based testing,
property-oriented testing, statistical testing, etc. The central idea
behind these techniques is designing or using existing constraint
solvers such as SMT solvers to deal with boolean, integer, real,
floating-point data types, enumerated types, control structures,
complex data structures, method calls and so on. The constraint
systems that result from these analyses usually share some common
features such as being heterogeneous and highly dynamic. This also led
to the design of domain-specific heuristics able to exploit the
structure of programs or specification models.

Following a first meeting held within the CP (Principles of Constraint
Programming) Conference at Nantes in 2006 and a second meeting at ICST
2010, the aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
industrial people working in constraint-based program analysis and
testing, as well as researchers working in the more general field of
program testing, to investigate future developments in this research
field.
