CALL FOR PAPERS A-TEST 2024
19th of September 2024, Vienna
Co-located with ISSTA/ECOOP
********************************************
For the past fourteen years, the Workshop on Automating Testing (A-TEST) 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.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the workshop, with the special theme: "Using DSLs for test automation and the automated testing of DSLs".
This theme fits exactly at the intersection of ECOOP and ISSTA where the workshop will be co-located.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Effective DSLs for testing.
- Integrating DSLs into existing unit testing frameworks like Selenium, JUnit, or PyTest.
- DSLs for API testing (including the GUI).
- Languages for specific testing domains like web, mobile, cloud, and embedded systems testing.
- Tools, IDEs, and environments that support the development and use of DSLs in test automation.
- DSLs and Model-Based Testing (MBT), exploring the intersections between DSLs and MBT.
- Real-world applications, success stories, challenges, and lessons learned from using DSLs in industrial settings.
- Novel ideas, emerging trends, and future directions in the development and application of DSLs for test automation
- Testing of DSLs
Important dates:
Abstract Submission deadline: 18th of May 2024 Submission deadline: 24th of May 2024 Author notification: 24th of June 2024 Camera-ready Submission: 31st of July 2024

Authors are invited to submit papers to the workshop, and present and discuss them at the event on topics related to DSLs and automated software testing. Paper submissions can be of the following types:
- Full papers (max 8 pages, including references) describing original, complete, and validated research – either empirical or theoretical – in A-TEST related techniques, tools, or industrial case studies.
- Work-in-progress papers (max. 4 pages) that describe novel, interesting, and high-potential work in progress, but not necessarily reaching full completion (e.g., not completely validated).
- Tool papers (max. 4 pages) presenting some testing tool in a way that it could be presented to industry as a start of successful technology transfer.
- Technology transfer papers (max. 4 pages) describing industry-academia co-operation. Position papers (max. 2 pages) that analyse trends and raise issues of importance. Position papers are intended to generate discussion and debate during the workshop.
All submissions must be in English and in PDF format. Submissions must conform to the ACM Conference Format. A-TEST 2024 will employ a single-blind review process. Contributions must be submitted through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=atest2024
