ICST is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, Technical Committee on Software Engineering. These pages provide general information on the conference and how it is governed by the steering committee.

Proposals for ICST Conferences

We are committed to planning conference locations at least two years in advance. If you are interested in hosting a conference, please contact any member of the Steering Committee. We would like to begin a discussion as early as possible so that we can include your proposal into our long-term plans and so that future organizers can be included in previous conferences.

About ICST

The ICST conference offers an open forum for software testing, verification and validation research and its transfer to practice. Among other things, it attempts to stimulate scientific research on model-based software testing, empirical studies of testing techniques, and the technology transfer of research results to software development practices. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Software testing theory and practice
• Model-based testing
• Domain specific testing including, but not limited to, security testing, web services testing, database testing, and OO software testing
• Verification & Validation
• Quality Assurance
• Model checking
• Empirical studies
• Metrics
• Inspections
• Tools
• Testing education
• Testing in multidisciplinary applications
• Embedded software
• Technology transfer
• Model-Driven Engineering
• Novel approaches to software reliability assessment
