The new IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and
Validation (ICST) 
offers an open forum for software testing, verification and validation
research and its transfer 
to practice. One of the main goals of ICST is to bridge research and
practice in software testing, 
verification, and validation. Furthermore, it aims at stimulating scientific
research on model-based 
software testing, domain specific testing, empirical studies of testing
techniques, and the technology 
transfer of research results to software development practices. The charter
of ICST specifies rules 
ensuring the transparent, democratic, and open management of the conference.


ICST’s student paper track welcomes original submissions whose first author
is a student (the advisor or other student or non-student collaborators may
be co-authors), and once accepted which shall be 
presented by a student.

The goal of the student paper track is to provide students with useful
feedback on their research and 
with opportunities to exchange research ideas with other students and
researchers. A student who presents an accepted paper will be given 15
minutes followed by 5 minutes of Q&A. The student paper track will be part
of the main conference’s technical presentation sessions. 

The accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of the main
conference.  The student paper track program committee will select the best
paper in this track. The award will be announced at the conference banquet.

Papers must be no more than 4 pages long in the two-column IEEE format.
