Workshop Theme
We have recently seen a shifting paradigm from Test Automation to Autonomous Software Testing (AUST). While Test Automation aims to automate the important tasks in a software testing process, Autonomous Software Testing aims to make the process as full control, decision making, and operation by the machine. This paradigm shift has been made possible due to the advances in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
The First Workshop on Autonomous Software Testing is a forum for researchers and industry experts and professionals to share recent advancements and discuss future directions and opportunities towards more autonomous software testing approaches and tools. The workshop will feature paper and tool presentations as well as a panel discussion shared by researchers and experts in the field of software testing.
Publications/articles are invited to advance the autonomous software testing area, toward achieving full autonomy in software testing. Case studies and practitioner perspectives are also welcome.
Relevant topics of interest to this workshop include (but are not limited to):
Autonomous test generation with little or no human intervention
AI/ML for optimized test suites and test cases selection
AI/ML for prioritization of test cases and test configurations
Detecting and fixing flaky test cases and scripts
Autonomous test case repair and maintenance
Autonomous test suite evolution
Autonomous test script reuse
Intelligent test visualization and analytics
Test impact analysis
Test result analysis
Intelligent test execution and validation
Paper Submission
Research papers should present novel contributions to advancing autonomous software testing. All submissions must be in English, double-column IEEE style, PDF format and follow the ACM Proceedings Template: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template ( LaTEX users must use the \documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart} option). The detailed information for each type is described below:
Regular Paper – Submitted papers must be written in English, with the page limit from 6 to 8 pages. Up to two additional pages can be used for references.
Short Paper – Submitted papers must be written in English, with a maximum length limit of 4 pages. All short paper page limits include all related information (references, appendix, author biographies, etc.).
Submission deadline: August 03, 2022
Papers must be submitted electronically through the AUST 2022 HotCRP submission site: https://aust2022.hotcrp.com/.
The manuscript you submit will be subject to double-blind peer review. All submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee based on technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. Accepted papers will become part of the workshop proceedings. Manuscripts should not be published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.
Industry Presentations and Tool Demonstrations
The workshop also calls for proposals to present and/or demo tools from industry experts and professionals. These presentations and discussions will help foster better collaborations between the research community and software testing industry.
We invite submissions for industry presentations and tool demonstration in forms of:
Extended abstract (1-2 pages) - Submitted extended abstracts describe industry advancements, ideas, open problems, thought-leadership content, etc.
Tool demonstration(1-2 pages) – Submitted tool demonstrations describe a research tool or an industrial tool suite.
Submission deadline: August 31, 2022
Presentation and tool demonstration proposals must be submitted electronically through the AUST 2022 HotCRP submission site: https://aust2022.hotcrp.com/. When submitting, please choose the submission type of either Extended abstract or Tool demonstration.
