Conference name: Special Session on New Tools, Techniques and
Methodologies for Information System Testing - NTMIST 2012

In conjunction with the 14th International Conference on Enterprise
Information Systems - ICEIS 2012



Venue: Wroclaw, Poland


Conference date: 28 June - 1 July, 2012

SCOPE
Information system development is a human intensive activity and over
the years the need for a disciplined approach for

development of better quality and reliable Information system has led
to the evolving field of Information system development

(ISD). The Information system community continually attempts to
develop technologies and methodologies to enable easier, faster

and cheaper ways to build high quality information systems. One of the
main elements of information system quality assurance is

information system testing or verification as it represents the
ultimate review of specification, design and code generation.

Despite the use of testing tools and methods in Information system
development, systems are constantly delivered with an

unreasonable amount of failures. These failures are not found, in
part, because of inadequate testing tools and methodologies.

To avoid these failures new techniques for Information system testing
have been proposed such as Model Based Testing (MBT). MBT

is expected to allow more adequate information testing because it is
rooted in automated procedures, avoiding manual error prone

activities.
This special session aims at being a forum for researchers,
developers, testers and users to discuss about new approaches,

methodologies, tools and experiences in the field of testing. We
invite authors to submit papers describing results of

theoretical or experimental research or describing approaches and
means to introduce new testing methodologies in industrial

contexts.
