Theme and Goals
-----------------
The Testing: Academic and Industrial Conference 2008 (TAIC PART
2008) establishes a forum for the publication of papers related to
software testing and analysis. The theme of TAIC PART is
"transferring software testing technology from academia to
industry." TAIC PART aims to forge collaborations between industry
and academia. A goal of TAIC PART 2008 is the articulation of
fundamental research questions in the field of software testing and
analysis. TAIC PART also focuses on the practical challenges that
are often faced by software developers in industry.

Call for Participation
------------------------
After a rigorous reviewing process in which all of the submitted
papers were reviewed by at least three programme committee members,
followed by programme committee discussions, 15 papers were
accepted for publication at TAIC PART 2008. Four of these papers
were from industry, eight from academia, and three from
collaborations between industry and academia. In addition to the
published papers, TAIC PART 2008 has two outstanding invited
speakers, Les Hatton of Kingston University and Oakwood Computing,
and David Vandervoort of Testronic Labs.
TAIC PART 2006 and 2007 were assessed outstanding and
internationally leading in all categories by the EPSRC, who
provided significant funding to hold these past events. The
criteria included research quality, planning and practice,
scientific impact, communication of output, and benefits to
society. The conference organizers invite you to participate in
TAIC PART 2008 in order to continue the strong tradition of this
software testing conference.

TAIC PART 2008 also features a Fast Abstract Track that supports
the publication of short papers describing late breaking results or
works in progress. This TAIC PART track is an ideal venue for PhD
students who are interested in feedback about dissertation research
that is in its formative stages. These two page papers will be
available for download from the conference Web Site and authors
will present their papers alongside the other TAIC PART authors. As
