Software Engineering: Testing and Program Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Software testing and program analysis are preliminary activities to foster and assure software quality. In recent decades, many software testing techniques and program analysis frameworks have been proposed to help ensure code quality, understand program behaviors, and assess security and compliance for software systems. The application domains of these techniques range from traditional software to modern technologies such as Android applications and machine learning/deep learning systems. This Special Issue aims to bring together the members of the software testing and program analysis community to share new developments and shape innovations. We invite contributions and inspirations from researchers and practitioners working with software testing and program analysis for various systems, i.e., Java applications, web services, Android applications, machine learning/deep learning systems, etc. We are particularly interested in exciting software testing framework ideas and innovative code analysis techniques, including preliminary results of work in progress. We will also focus on the state of the practice for software testing and program analysis by encouraging submissions by industrial participants.
