NEXTA 2020 - 3rd IEEE Workshop on NEXt level of Test Automation
http://www.testomatproject.eu/nexta2020
March 23rd, 2020, Porto, Portugal
Co-located with IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation (ICST 2020)
+++ Important Dates +++
Abstract Submission: January 6, 2020
Submission: January 13, 2020
Notification: January 27, 2020
Camera ready: February 4, 2020
Workshop: March 23, 2020
+++ Theme and Goals +++
NEXTA'20 is the third edition of the IEEE Workshop on Test Automation - highly relevant for both research and industry. Thus, NEXTA aims to attract both academic researchers and industry practitioners.
Test automation has been an acknowledged software engineering best practice for years. However, the topic involves more than the repeated execution of test cases that often comes first to mind. Simply running test cases using a unit testing framework is no longer enough for test automation to keep up with the ever-shorter release cycles driven by continuous deployment and technological innovations such as microservices and DevOps pipelines. Now test automation needs to rise to the next level by going beyond mere test execution.
The NEXTA workshop will explore how to advance test automation to further contribute to software quality in the context of tomorrow's rapid release cycles. Take-aways for industry practitioners and academic researchers will encompass test case generation, automated test result analysis, test suite assessment and maintenance, and infrastructure for the future of test automation.
+++ Topics of Interest +++
NEXTA solicits contributions targeting all aspects of test automation, from initial test design to automated verdict analysis. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
+ Test execution automation
+ Test case generation
+ Automatic test design generation
+ Analytics, learning and big data in relation to test automation
+ Automatic aspects management in test, progress, reporting, planning etc.
+ Visualization of test
+ Evolution of test automation
+ Test suite architecture and infrastructure
+ Test environment, simulation, and other contextual issues for automated testing
+ Test tools, frameworks, and general support for test automation
+ Testing in an agile and continuous integration context, and testing within DevOps
+ Orchestration of test
+ Metrics, benchmarks, and estimation on any type of test automation
+ Any type of test technologies relying on automation of test
+ Process improvements and assessments related to test automation
+ Test automation maturity and experience reports on test automation
+ Automatic retrieval of test data and test preparation aspect
+ Maintainability, monitoring and refactoring of automated test suites
+ Training and education on automated testing
+ Automated test for product lines and high-variability systems
+ Test automation patterns
+ Automated test oracle
+++ Submission and Proceedings +++
NEXTA solicits the following types of original papers:
+ Technical Papers (max. 8 pages in IEEE format). Full papers presenting research results or industrial practices related to the next generation of test automation.
+ Position and Experience Papers (max. 4 pages in IEEE format). Short papers introducing challenges, visions, positions or preliminary results within the scope of the workshop. Experience reports and papers on open challenges in industry are especially welcome.
+ Tool Papers (max. 4 pages in IEEE format). Tool papers introduce tools that implement an approach to support the transition to the next generation of test automation. A tool paper submission must include either 1) a URL to a screencast of the tool in action, or 2) a runnable version of the tool for evaluation by the program committee.
Authors should submit a PDF version of their paper through the NEXTA 2020 paper submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nexta2020.
All accepted papers will be part of the ICST joint workshop proceedings published in the IEEE Digital Library.

The 18th Belgium-Netherlands Software Evolution Workshop - BENEVOL 2019
Brussels, Belgium
28th - 29th November, 2019
http://soft.vub.ac.be/benevol2019/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a call for the upcoming 18th Belgium-Netherlands Software Evolution Workshop (BENEVOL) which is to be held on November 28-29, 2019, at Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Brussels, Belgium. Please see the Important Dates Section at the end for the deadlines.
The goal of BENEVOL is to bring together researchers from Belgium, the Netherlands, and neighboring countries that are working in the field of software evolution and maintenance. BENEVOL offers an informal forum to meet and to discuss new ideas, important problems and obtained research results.
BENEVOL accepts submissions in two categories:
Technical papers (max 4 pages main text + 1 page of references) will undergo a mild yet constructive review. We explicitly solicit papers in the early stages of research, which are still rather rough around the edges and would benefit from feedback from the community. Technical papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee, assessing whether they are within the scope of BENEVOL (i.e., software maintenance and evolution) and meet its quality criteria. Authors will be asked to improve their paper and submit a camera ready version that will be published in the CEUR-WS.org workshop proceedings.
Presentation abstracts (max 1 page) report on research results that have already been published, or that are ready to be submitted to a conference or a journal. They will only be reviewed for relevance, and will not be included in the BENEVOL proceedings. When accepted, the 1-pagers will be made available on the website of the workshop. Of particular interest are summaries that try to provoke discussion, initiate challenging new avenues, etc.
