===========================================

The Fifth Halmstad Summer School on Testing

Halmstad University, Sweden

June 8 - June 11, 2015

===========================================


Scope
========

Software testing accounts for a major part of software development cost and
effort,
yet the current practice of software testing is often insufficiently
structured and disciplined.
There have been various attempts in the past decades to bring more rigour
and structure into this field,
resulting in several industrial-strength processes, techniques and tools
for different levels of testing.
The 5th Halmstad Summer School on Testing provides an overview of the state
of the art in testing,
including theory, industrial cases, tools and hands-on tutorials by
internationally-renowned researchers.

Tutorials
========

Approximate Formal Verification Using Model-Based Testing (Rance
Cleaveland, University of Maryland)

Taking Search-Based Software Testing to the Real-World (Robert Feldt,
Blekinge Inst. of Tech. and Chalmers)

Differential and Multi-Version Program Verification (Shuvendu Lahiri,
Microsoft Research)

Learning-based Testing of Procedural and Reactive Systems (Karl Meinke,
KTH)

Model-based Testing of Embedded Real-time Systems under Uncertainty (Brian
Nielsen, Aalborg University)

Model-based Testing of Software Product Lines (Ina Schaefer, TU
Braunschweig)

Automated Fault Prediction: The Ins, The Outs, The Ups, The Downs (Elaine
Weyuker, Mälardalen University)

Venue
======

The summer school will be held on the campus of Halmstad University  in
Halmstad, Sweden.
Halmstad is a popular summer destination located on the Swedish west coast.
Just a few minutes by bicycle or bus takes you from campus to city centre,
sandy beaches or forested Galgberget Hill.
Trains take you directly to Göteborg in 75 minutes, to the Malmö-Copenhagen
area in about 2 hours and to Stockholm in 4.5 hours.
There are also daily flights from Halmstad Airport to Stockholm.

If you are flying in internationally it is generally easiest to fly into
Copenhagen (CPH) airport (also known as Kastrup).
The best thing about flying into CPH is that you just buy a train ticket
when you arrive at the airport and simply take a train from the airport
directly to Halmstad.
