6th Workshop on Automating Test case design, Selection and Evaluation
ATSE 2015
7/8 Sept. 2015, York, UK.

ATSE's aim is to provide researchers and practitioners a forum for exchanging ideas, experiences, understanding of the problems, visions for the future, and promising solutions to the problems in automated test case generation, selection and evaluation for modern software systems. The workshop will also provide a platform for researchers and developers of testing tools to work together to identify the problems in the theory and practice of test automation and to set an agenda and lay the foundation for future development.

Co-located at the 13th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods (SEFM), will be held in York, UK between 7-11 September 2015.
Topics
We invite you to submit a paper to the workshop, and present and discuss it at the event itself on topics related to:

Techniques and tools for automating test case design and selection, e.g. model-based approaches, combinatorial-based approaches, search-based approaches, symbolic-based approach.
Test cases optimization.
Test cases evaluation and metrics.
Test cases design, selection, and evaluation in emerging test domains, e.g. Graphical User Interface, Social Network, Cloud, Games or Security.
Case studies that have evaluated an existing technique or tool on real systems, not only toy problems, to show the quality of the resulting test cases compared to other approaches.


Types of submissions
We invite researchers and practitioners to submit any of the following 3 types of submissions:

Position papers (2 pages) that analyze trends in ATSE and raise issues of importance. Position papers are intended to generate discussion and debate during the workshop, and will be reviewed with respect to relevance and their ability to start up fruitful discussions.

Work-in-progress papers (4 pages) that describe novel, interesting, and highly potential work in progress, but not necessarily reaching its full completion.

Full papers (10 pages) describing original and completed research -- either empirical or theoretical -- in ATSE techniques, tools, or industrial case studies.


Format and submission
All accepted papers will be published as part of a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) proceedings. PDF versions of papers should be submitted trough EasyChair submission system using the LNCS Formatting Guidelines. If a paper gets accepted, at least one of the (co)author(s) is expected to be present at the workshop to present the paper. All papers submitted to the workshop must be unpublished original work and should not be under review or submitted elsewhere while being under consideration. Submitted papers will be reviewed by 3 members of Program/Organizing Committee (or their sub-reviewers) and selection of accepted papers will based on relevance, quality and originality of the submitted papers.
