The TAP conference promotes research in verification and formal methods
that targets the interplay of proofs and testing: the advancement of
techniques of each kind and their combination, with the ultimate goal of
improving software and system dependability.
Research in verification has seen a steady convergence of heterogeneous
techniques and a synergy between the traditionally distinct areas of
testing (and dynamic analysis) and of proving (and static analysis).
Formal techniques for counter-example generation based on, for example,
symbolic execution, SAT/SMT-solving or model checking, furnish evidence
for the potential of a combination of tests and proofs. The combination
of predicate abstraction with testing-like techniques based on
exhaustive enumeration opens the perspective for novel techniques of
proving correctness. On the practical side, testing offers
cost-effective debugging techniques of specifications or crucial parts
of program proofs (such as invariants). Last but not least, testing is
indispensable when it comes to the validation of the underlying
assumptions of complex system models involving hardware and/or system
environments. Over the years, there is growing acceptance in research
communities that testing and proving are complementary rather than
mutually exclusive techniques.
The TAP conference aims to promote research in the intersection of
testing and proving by bringing together researchers and practitioners
from both areas of verification.
*** Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another
journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
** Regular research papers: full submissions describing original
research, of up to 16 pages (excluding references and appedix). In case
regular papers rely on experimental data and/or tool support, authors
are strongly recommended to make the experimental data and/or tool
support available for public use.
** Tool demonstration papers: submissions describing the design and
implementation of an analysis/verification tool or framework, of up to 8
pages (excluding references and appendix). The tool/framework described
in a tool demonstration paper should be available for public use.
** Short papers: submissions describing preliminary findings, proofs of
concepts, and exploratory studies, of up to 6 pages (excluding
references and appendix).
Papers have to adhere to Springer's LNCS format and must be submitted in
PDF format at the EasyChair submission site:

*** List of Topics
TAP's scope encompasses many aspects of verification technology,
including foundational work, tool development, and empirical research.
Its topics of interest center around the connection between proofs (and
other static techniques) and testing (and other dynamic techniques).
Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics:
* Verification and analysis techniques combining proofs and tests
* Program proving with the aid of testing techniques
* Deductive techniques supporting the automated generation of test
vectors and oracles (theorem proving, model checking, symbolic
execution, SAT/SMT solving, constraint logic programming, etc.)
* Deductive techniques supporting novel definitions of coverage criteria
* Program analysis techniques combining static and dynamic analysis
* Specification inference by deductive and dynamic methods
* Testing and runtime analysis of formal specifications
* Search-based technics for proving and testing
* Verification of verification tools and environments
* Applications of test and proof techniques in new domains, such as
security, configuration management, learning
* Combined approaches of test and proof in the context of formal
certifications (Common Criteria, CENELEC, …)
* Case studies, tool and framework descriptions, and experience reports
combining tests and proofs
