A-TEST workshop aims to provide a venue for researchers as well as the industry to exchange and discuss trending views, ideas, state of the art work in progress, and scientific results on Automated Testing.

Modern software teams seek a delicate balance between two opposing forces: striving for reliability and striving for agility. Software teams need tools to strike the right balance by increasing the development speed without sacrificing quality. Automated testing tools play an important role in obtaining this balance.

A-TEST has successfully run 8 editions since 2009. During the 2017 edition, that was also co-located at ESEC/FSE. We introduced hands-on sessions where testing tools can be studies in depth. Due to the many positive reactions we received, this year we will have them again!
