The aim of the ITNG 2012 Software Testing track is to bring together researchers and practitioners in an effort to highlight the state-of-the-art and to present and discuss ideas and experiences to explore new directions for improving software testing theories, technologies, processes, models, tools, and fundamental paradigms. We strongly encourage submissions of both a theoretical and practical nature, from both academia and industry. Suggested areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Software test automation
Software testing certification
Software testing metrics
Software testing quantitative techniques
Software test driven development
Agile software testing
Model based software testing
Software testing with Open Source tools
Static code analysis
Software performance testing
Software security testing
Software load and stress testing
Software code coverage analysis
Software mutation testing
Automatic test case generation
Software testing tools
Software testing case studies
Software application UI testing

Paper Submission
Interested authors should submit a 3 to 6-page paper of their original and unpublished work including 5 keywords in the IEEE conference proceedings format, slightly modified for ITNG. You can use this template: IEEEPaperTemplateModifiedForITNG.doc. Please submit your paper via the Web-based system at: https://www.softconf.com/c/itng2012/. Electronic submission in MS Word (.docx) format or .pdf format is preferred. Papers must represent high quality and previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services.

Evaluation Process
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. Per ITNG policy, except for invited papers, all papers will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by the CPS and be available via digital library.
