About

The proposed 17th edition of the Workshop on Automated Testing (A-TEST) extends the previous editions of the A-TEST workshops (previously titled Workshop on Automated Test Execution) by joining with another well-known workshop that focuses on similar topics, i.e, INTUITESTBEDS (International Workshop on User Interface Test Automation and Testing Techniques for Event-Based Software). This unified event combines the strengths of both workshops to create a broader and more meaningful discussion, involving, at the same time, a wider range of researchers from both academia and industry. By bringing together experts from diverse fields, A-TEST aims to encourage richer collaboration and knowledge exchange across the testing community.

The proposed 16th edition of the Workshop on Automated Testing (A-TEST) will focus on the specific theme of automated UI Testing and automated UI-based Testing, including both Character User Interface (CUI) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) testing.

A-TEST 2025 will serve as a unique venue for sharing the latest research, ideas, and techniques surrounding automated UI Testing and automated UI-based Testing. The workshop aims to encourage collaboration and knowledge exchange across the testing community, bringing together experts to discuss advancements, challenges, and future directions.

A-TEST aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and tool developers working on topics related to:

1. Automated user interfaces (UI) Testing of applications including both CUI and GUI.
2. Automated GUI testing of mobile, desktop, and web applications.
3. Automated testing of applications through their UI, including CUI and GUI.
4. Automated GUI-based testing of mobile, desktop and web applications, and web applications.
5. Automated CUI testing and CUI-based testing of legacy systems.
6. Testing of other types of event-driven software, such as network protocols, embedded software, IoT applications and devices, web services and device drivers.

The relevant topics on UI Testing and UI-based Testing include modeling and model inference, test case generation and execution, test oracles, coverage and metrics, evaluation, analysis and reporting, abstraction and reusability, interoperability and cross-platform testing, prioritization and optimization, and tooling and industrial experiences.

Pre­vious Edi­tions

The A-TEST workshop has evolved over the years and has successfully run 7 editions since 2009. The first editions went by the name of ATSE (2009 and 2011) took place at the CISTI (Conference on Information Systems and Technologies, http://www.aisti.eu/). The three subsequent editions (2012, 2013 and 2014) at FEDCSIS (Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems, http://www.fedcsis.org). In 2015 there was an ATSE2015 at SEFM year and an A-TEST2015 at FSE.
