The Brazilian Symposium on Systematic and Automated Software Testing (SAST) is the main scientific conference on software testing in Brazil. Its goal is to promote an annual forum to discuss issues on the systematization and automation of software testing activity, promoting interaction between researchers and industry in order to strengthen cooperation and innovation in this important area of software development. The Proceedings of SAST are published annually, bringing the articles selected for each edition of the event.

Topics of Interest

SAST topics of interest are consisted by:

  • Automated software testing: environments, tools, and industrial report on testing automation
  • Combinatorial testing and random testing
  • Distributed and parallel software testing
  • Error-based and fault-based testing
  • Management and integration of testing activities and resources
  • Maintenance and reuse of test artifacts
  • Model-based and model-driven testing
  • Performance, load, and stress testing
  • Prediction and Risk-based testing
  • Program-based, specification-based, and requirements testing
  • Test adequacy and coverage measurement
  • Test case generation and selection techniques
  • Test driver, stubs, harness, and test script generation
  • Test effective analysis and test report generation
  • Test oracle and test result checking techniques
  • Testing of contemporary software systems: mobile, Cloud Computing, context-awareness, Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, Big Data
  • Testing of learning-based software, including Deep Learning
  • Testing of non-functional requirements: security, safety, interoperability, etc.
