After the great success of the first contest on software testing in 2018, the second annual contest for students in the Dallas (Texas, USA) metropolitan area was held on March 30th at the University of Texas at Dallas. This event was sponsored by the Dallas Chapter of the IEEE Reliability Society, the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Dallas, and Mooctest, Inc. Constants were from the University of Texas at Dallas, the University of Texas at Arlington, University of North Texas, Southern Methodist University, and local high schools. Each student received a certificate issued by the RS Dallas Chapter and the CS Department at UTD for successful completion of the contest. Winners of the first three places also received presents provided by UTD.
