Software projects accumulate large sets of test cases, encoding valuable expert knowledge about the system under test to the extent of many person years. Over time the reliability of the tests decreases, and they become difficult to understand and maintain. Extra effort is required for repairing broken tests and for adapting and co-evolving test suites with changing software systems.
The International Workshop on Validation, Analysis and Evolution of Software Tests (VST) is a unique event co-located with SANER 2021 bringing together academics, industrial researchers, and practitioners for exchanging experiences, solutions and new ideas in applying methods, techniques and tools from software analysis, evolution and re-engineering to advance the state of the art in test development and maintenance.
Submission Guidelines
We encourage submission of papers on the topics mentioned above: Full papers (8 pages maximum), position papers and tool demonstration papers (2 to 4 pages maximum). Papers must conform to the IEEE proceedings paper format guidelines. If the paper is accepted, at least one author must attend the workshop and present the paper. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library along with the SANER proceedings.
