Testing Software and Systems: Challenges and Emerging Trends

Testing is the most important technique which can be used for assessing and validating the quality, functionality, performance, and reliability of software. Testing remains very challenging in all its different aspects: methods and tools, theory, modelling languages, measuring of quality, and industrial applications. The topical issue will address the issues related to testing software and systems, paying attention to contemporary challenges and emerging trends, such as (but not limited to) complexity, scalability and performance, security and privacy, involvement of AI and ML, human factors, etc.

The topical issue will focus on the papers accepted at the conference ICTSS 2025. Selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions with at least 30% new material, which will be subjected to standard review process as per journal’s editorial policies.
