=====================================================
Call for Participation

13th International Conference on Tests and Proofs (TAP 2019)

Porto (Portugal), October 9-11, 2019

https://tap.sosy-lab.org/2019/

Part of the 3rd World Congress on Formal Methods

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

About TAP


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 recently 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
test and proof. 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 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.
