Call for Papers

We invite submissions of high-quality papers presenting original work on both theoretical and experimental aspects of combinatorial testing. We accept both full papers (up to 10 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Combinatorial testing workflow
  • Modeling the input space for CT
  • Efficient algorithms to generate t-way test suites, especially involving support of constrains
  • Determination of expected system behavior for each test case
  • Executing CT test suites
  • Combinatorial testing based fault localization
  • Implementation of CT with existing testing infrastructures
  • Handling changes in test requirements
• Applicability of combinatorial testing
  • Comparison and combination of CT with other dynamic verification methods
  • Investigation of historical records of failures to determine the kind of CT which may have detected underlying faults
  • Empirical studies and feedback from practical applications of CT
  • Combinatorial testing for concurrent and real-time systems
  • CT for testing cloud computing systems and use of combinatorial methods in cloud architecture
  • Application of CT in other domains, e.g., study of gene regulation and other biotechnology applications
• Combinatorial and complementing methods
  • Combinatorial analysis of existing test suites
  • Test plan reduction and completeness
  • CT and coverage metrics – combining the two, and studying the relationship between them

Papers must be submitted before the deadline and according to submission guidelines.
