SOQUA 2007 4th international workshop on software quality assurance

Abstract

SOQUA 2007 aims to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners to discuss and evaluate latest challenges, breakthroughs and experiences in the field of software quality assurance, and to identify open issues and future trends in this area. Among the many quality assurance topics, SOQUA 2007 puts special focus on the role that emerging self-adaptive and self-healing solutions can play in quality assurance. The program committee had the difficult task to select 17 papers out of 27 high-quality submissions from all over the world. The selected papers cover 11 countries and 5 continents, and many aspects of software quality assurance, including: self-healing and self-adaptive solutions, testing, quality assurance processes, process modeling, failure analysis and anticipation, quality of requirements, and variability modeling. These papers represent a significant contribution to the state of the art in the field. The workshop program consists of 1 keynote address given by Wilhelm Schäfer, 5 paper sessions hosting the authors' presentations, and 2 discussion sessions on hot-topics in the field. © 2007 ACM.
