Report from the 14th International Workshop on Automating Test Case Design, Selection, and Evaluation (A-TEST 2023)

Abstract

For the past fourteen years, the Workshop on Automating Test Case Design, Selection and Evaluation (A-TEST)1 has provided a venue for researchers and industry members alike to exchange and discuss trending views, ideas, state-of-the-art, work-in-progress, and scientific results on automated testing. The previous thirteen editions of A-TEST were co-located with several conferences over time: CISTI2 (first two editions), FEDCSIS 3 (three editions), and ESEC/FSE4 (seven editions). The 14th edition took place on September 15, 2023, in Kirchberg, Luxembourg, co-located with ASE 2023 (38th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering5). The A-TEST 2023 program featured an enlightening keynote on quantum software testing, followed by three technical sessions in which the authors of 6 full papers and 4 short papers dived into various aspects of automated testing, from neuroevolution and fuzzing techniques to GUI-based software testing and test case recommendations. This short report summarizes the keynote and paper presentations at A-TEST 2023.
