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 both research papers that present high quality original work and industry reports from practitioners that present real world experiences from which others can benefit.
