CALL FOR PAPERS
5th International Conference on Tests and Proofs (TAP 2011)
http://www.tap2011.informatik.uni-bremen.de/
June 30 - July 1, 2011, Zuerich, Switzerland
Part of the TOOLS Federated Conferences 2011

The TAP conference is devoted to the convergence of proofs and tests, to
the application of techniques from both sides and their combination for
the advancement of software quality. Test and Proof seem to be
contradictory techniques: if you have proved your program, it's
fruitless to comb it for bugs; and if you are testing it, that is surely
a sign that you have given up on any hope to prove its correctness.
Accordingly, proofs and tests have, since the onset of software
engineering research, been pursued by distinct communities.

However, the development of both approaches lead to the discovery of
common issues and to the realization that each may need the other. The
emergence of model checking has been one of the first signs that
contradiction may yield to complementarity. Further evidence give
test data generation techniques from models or programs boil down to
constraint resolution techniques for relatively large formula; the
advent of powerful SMT solvers have therefore powered new testing
techniques. Finally, since formal, proof-based verification is costly,
testing invariants and background theories can be helpful to detect
errors early and to improve cost effectivity. Summing up, in the past
few years an increasing number of research efforts have encountered the
need for combining proofs and tests, dropping earlier dogmatic views of
incompatibility and taking instead the best of what each of these
software engineering domains has to offer.

The TAP conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners
working in the converging fields of testing and proving, and will offer
a generous allocation of panels and informal discussions.
