IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation (ICST 2020).

Zusammenfassung

This special issue contains articles which are extended versions of some of the best papers presented at the IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation (ICST 2020). ICST is intended as a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world to present their latest research findings, ideas, developments and applications in the area of Software Testing, Verification and Validation. The articles are ‘Fostering the Diversity of Exploratory Testing in Web Applications’, by Leveau et al., ‘RVPRIO: a Tool for Prioritizing Runtime Verification Violations’, by Cabral et al., and ‘Automated Black-Box Testing of Nominal and Error Scenarios in RESTful APIs’, by Corradini et al., covering diverse topics in software testing and verification. In the first article, the authors investigate exploratory testing, a form of software testing that leverages business expertise, in the context of web applications. They propose a new approach that monitors online interactions performed by testers to suggest new interactions, thus enabling deeper explorations of the applications. In the second article, the authors leverage machine learning to prioritise violations reported by runtime verification, leading to the discovery of previously unknown bugs in open-source projects. In the third article, the authors develop black-box testing techniques for RESTful APIs, a mainstream approach for web API design, leading to the discovery of new faults in already deployed web services. We would like to thank the authors for submitting their contributions and the reviewers for their excellent job. We would also like to thank Rob Hierons for kind guidance and great patience with this volume.
