3rd Workshop on “SYSTEM TESTING AND VALIDATION”
at ICSSEA 2004, Nov. 30 - Dec. 02, 2004, Paris, France
Workshop Description
Software and system assurance is a growing concern. A look at some of
the domains involved, including at least medical devices, automotive,
railway, aeronautical, space and telecommunications provides a feeling
on the importance of the topic.. For many of these domains, and partly
because of the increasing complexity of software, validation is an open
and not straightforward at all, both from a technical and from a
managerial point of view. Another topic to consider is that validation
is, most usually, performed at the end the development lifecycle, what
results in obvious calendar problems. One of the consequences is that
the relevance of lifecycle processes such as system testing and
validation must be broadened. Therefore inputs from research
contributions and experience from industry is required in order to
enable innovative, and often more rigorous, approaches.
Objective
The objective of the workshop is to bring together industry and academy
to debate on different approaches and methodologies to system
validation. Issues to be considered are:
· innovative approaches to validate different types of requirements:
functional, and non-functional (reliability, safety, maintainability, etc.);
· automation and tool support; validation for systems of
formerly-validated components;
· validation in the context of different lifecycle process models:
e.g. conventional and agile;
· validation and certification.
Both methodological issues and managerial (cost, organization required)
are welcome.
Contributions that put special emphasis to the usage and suitability of
advanced test languages such as TTCN-3 or the UML profile for testing
are also encouraged.
Practical aspects of validation are welcome, though their foundation
will be equally considered.
