Software plays an integral part in our everyday lives because of its near-ubiquitous influence in our increasingly technological society. It has significant impacts on the improvement of efficiency, reliability, security, and safety of many service-oriented and mission-critical systems.
These goals, however, cannot be well accomplished if the software is not properly tested. Many lessons aim to provide students with the fundamental knowledge and techniques of software testing. However, they often ignore industry practices and can hardly offer real-world testing experience to students. To address this problem and to promote advanced software testing theory, techniques, and tools, the Technical Committee on System and Software Assurance of IEEE Reliability Society, the Dallas Chapter of IEEE Reliability Society, in collaboration with the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Dallas, as well as other sponsors such as Mooctest Inc. have organized multiple IEEE International Contests on Software Testing at different venues in recent years.
The upcoming contest will be held on April 11 (Saturday) in hybrid mode, both in-person in ECSS 2.102 (TI auditorium) and ECSS 2.410 at the UT Dallas campus and online.
This contest aims to bring real-world testing and tool-using experience to the participants and provide them with excellent opportunities to overcome industry testing challenges with their learned testing techniques.
Although the contest is free of charge, all contestants are required to complete their registrations at the contest registration site by April 10.
Each contestant will receive a certificate for attending this contest.
This contest will be held in ECSS 2.102 (TI auditorium) and ECSS 2.410 at the UT Dallas campus.
Online contestants will join via Zoom (Meeting ID: 878 9935 6950, Passcode: 330233).
