1st IEEE International Workshop on
Test Automation (TA 2009)
IN CONJUNCTION WITH
COMPSAC 2009
To provide researchers and practitioners a platform for exchanging ideas, experiences, understanding problems in theory and practice, and lay a foundation for the future in the area of test automation.

THEME AND SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
|
Test automation aims to reduce the cost and improve the effectiveness of software testing by using various techniques and methods. Other benefits are consistent and accuracy, reduction of overall test cycle time, risk mitigation of manual testing, and increase in overall product quality. Recording test activities as test scripts and playing the test scripts or record and playback is the most common method. More advanced methodologies include data-driven, keyword-driven and hybrid methods as well as framework based methods. Among tool development, interoperability remains a major challenge.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to methodology, technology, tool and environments, experiments and empirical studies. Examples include
- Test automation in the context of different software development lifecycle methodologies
- Support for testing methods
- Application in different domains
- Operation, maintenance and evolution of test tools and environments
- Experiments, empirical studies and experience reports

Papers must be submitted electronically via the Electronic Submission Page. The format of submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the IEEE conference proceedings. All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least two reviewers. Papers can be submitted as regular papers (six pages), and the acceptance will depend on reviewer feedback. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings of the 33rd IEEE Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC 2009) by the IEEE CS Press. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a full participant of the workshop to have the paper published in the proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented in person by an author.
