With the quick increase of software and system complexity and scale, test automation is an emerging and effective solution in software quality assurance to meet tight project schedules with quality. Today, with the advance of cloud computing, mobile computing and big data, there are many issues, challenges, solutions, and needs in software test automation. More research work is needed to study and develop innovative test models, methods and services, multi-tenanted test management and operations, on-demand test automation tools and platforms, and test-as-you-go billing. This workshop is set up to meet these emerging needs.
This workshop is intended to provide a new platform for researchers and practitioners to exchange new ideas and share state-of-the-art research results and solutions in Test Automation && generation, Mobile testing, TaaS (Testing-as-a-service) and other novel test automation techniques. We invite original papers from both academia and industry on, but not limited to, the following topics:
Large-scale test automation
Big data test and automation
