The IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification
and Validation (ICST) is the premier conference for research in all
areas related to software quality. The ever increasing complexity,
ubiquity, and dynamism of modern software systems is making software
quality assurance activities, and in particular software testing and
analysis, more challenging. ICST provides an ideal forum where
academics, industrial researchers, and practitioners can present their
latest approaches for ensuring the quality of today's complex software
systems, exchange and discuss ideas, and compare experiences. In this
spirit, ICST welcomes:

- Research papers (10 pages) that present high quality original work.

- Testing in Practice abstracts (2 pages) on the application of
  software engineering practices (which may be principles, techniques,
  tools, methods, processes, testing techniques etc.) to a specific
  domain or to the development of a significant software system.

- Tool papers (8 pages) describing testing tools and prototypes.

- PhD papers summarizing research efforts of students at any stage of
  their PhD.

- Workshop proposals on any aspect of software quality.

Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the ICST
Program Committee or track sub-committees. Authors of the best
research papers presented at ICST 2015 will be invited to extend their
work for possible inclusion in a special issue of Software Testing,
Verification and Reliability, a Wiley journal. For formatting and
submission details please consult the ICST website
