A Message from the TAIC PART 2010 General Chair TAIC PART is a
unique event that strives to combine aspects of a conference, a
workshop and a retreat. Its purpose is to bring together
industrialists and academics in an environment that promotes
fundamental collaborationon pr- lems in software testing. Among the
wide range of topics in computer science
andsoftwareengineering,softwaretesting is anidealcandidatefor
academicand
industrialcollaborationbecauseadvancesinresearchcanhavesuchwide-ranging
and far-reaching implications for industry. Conversely, the
advances in comp- ing and communications technology and the growth
of the associated software engineering activity are producing new
researchchallengesat an increasing rate. The problems that arise in
software testing are related to the problems that
ariseinmanyotherareasofcomputing.Assuch,testingresearchcombinesawide
range of elements encompassing the theoretical work of program
analysis and formal methods and the associated representations such
as ?nite-state machines and dependence graphs. The inherent
complexity of software testing has led to the involvement of
heuristic methods. Software testing is also a human activity and
has thus seen the involvement of psychology,sociologyand even
philosophy. This astonishing breadth and depth have made the
problems of software testing appealing to academics for several
decades.
