8th Halmstad Summer School on Testing (HSST 2018)

Organized in cooperation with TOCSYC Network

Introduction

Testing and debugging account for a major part of software development cost and effort, yet the current practice of software testing is often insufficiently structured and disciplined. There have been various attempts in the past decades to bring more rigour and structure into this field, resulting in several industrial-strength processes, techniques and tools for different levels of testing. The 7th Halmstad Summer School on Testing provides an overview of the state of the art in testing, including theory, industrial cases, tools and hands-on tutorials by internationally-renowned researchers.

Tutorials

• Model-based Mutation Testing: the Science of Killing Bugs in a Black Box
  Bernhard Aichernig, TU Graz, Austria
• Testing concurrent and distributed systems
  Mauro Pezze, University of Lugano, Switzerland
• Testing concurrent and distributed systems
  Jan Tretmans, ESI by TNO and Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands and Halmstad University, Sweden
• Automated testing of applications at the GUI level
  Tanja Vos, University of Valencia, Spain and the Open University, The Netherlands
• Real Bugs, Real Projects, Real Impact
  Andrzej Wasowski, IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark

Ph.D. Student Presentations

The deadline for Ph.D. abstract submission is May 15, 2018.

We have 8 time slots for Ph.D. presentations, where each student has 10 minutes to present her/his research project (and possibly results) and receive feedback from our experts. We solicit abstracts of 2 pages in the EasyChair Style in order to make a selection see: ( http://www.easychair.org/publications/for_authors ). The abstract should be solely authored by the Ph.D. student, but reviewed and approved by her/his supervisors.

The deadline for submissions is May 15, 2018.

Venue

he summer school will be held on the campus of Halmstad University in Halmstad, Sweden.
Halmstad is a popular summer destination located on the Swedish west coast.
Just a few minutes by bicycle or bus takes you from campus to city centre, sandy beaches or forested Galgberget Hill.
Trains take you directly to Goteborg in about an hour, to the Malmo-Copenhagen area in about 2 hours and to Stockholm in 4.5 hours.
There are also daily flights from Halmstad Airport (and the nearby Angelholm Airport) to Stockholm Bromma Airport.

If you are flying in internationally it is generally easiest to fly into Copenhagen (CPH) airport (also known as Kastrup).
The best thing about flying into CPH is that you just buy a train ticket when you arrive at the airport and simply take a train from the airport directly toHalmstad.
