SBFT CPS Tool Competition 2024 - 17th Intl. Workshop on Search-Based and Fuzz Testing

Description

Optimization techniques can be applied to many aspects of the software development process: research areas known as Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE). In our previous workshop editions, we focused on the application of SBSE to perform testing tasks, the so called Search-Based Software Testing (SBST). Ongoing research on SBST and Fuzz Testing are proposing techniques to address similar testing problems and with similar goals. This has led to the decision to rename the workshop to Search-Based and Fuzz Testing (SBFT). SBFT strategies have been applied to a wide variety of testing goals including achieving high coverage, finding faults and vulnerabilities, and checking various state-based and non-functional properties (e.g., scalability, acceptance). The central objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers and industrial practitioners from SBST, Fuzzing, and the wider Software Engineering community to share experience and provide directions for future research on the automation of software testing. The second objective of this workshop is to encourage the use of search and fuzzing techniques to combine testing with other software engineering areas. SBFT is a two-day workshop that comprises a research track, keynotes, and popular testing tool competitions. Additionally, the workshop brings together experts for a panel discussion. All those activities will contribute to break new ground in SBFT research.
