The 30th CREST Open Workshop

Search Based Software Testing (SBST) and Dynamic Symbolic Execution (DSE)

 

Date:  27 - 28 January 2014

Venue: Engineering Front Executive Suite, Roberts Building, UCL (Directions, or 'C5' on the map here, or Find it on Google maps.)

Overview:

Both Search Based Software Testing (SBST) and Dynamic Symbolic Execution (DSE) have been very effective at automating software testing. Each has complementary technical advantages that has motivated recent work on combinations of the two approaches. This workshop will bring together leaders in SBST and DSE to discuss opportunities for the automation of software testing that combine these two techniques.
