Slides from the Workshop

This workshop occurred on April 20, 2023 at ICST 2023 in Dublin, Ireland. Below are links to all the presentations.

• Optimal resource allocation for tasks in Continuous Integration Systems

• Automating Combinatorial Test Coverage for Cloud Virtualization 

•  What Breaks Google?

• How we use Hermetic, Ephemeral Test Environments at Google to reduce Test Flakiness

• Cloud-native Continuous Integration system for large enterprise software projects

• Enabling Pre-Merge CI on your TV

• Release Agility through Continuous Quality across Partner Companies

• Predicting Compiler Resource Utilization      

Call for Proposals

Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) are increasingly widespread throughout the technology sector. As large engineering organizations adopt CI/CD they are often met with scalability challenges. What works for small teams has not proven to work for large teams. This workshop invites practitioners and academics to come together and informally discuss the challenges and opportunities in build, test, and release automation.

Workshop Format

This workshop is held as part of ICST 2023 and will be a virtual event. For details see the main website: https://conf.researchr.org/home/icst-2023/cciw-2023

• Presentations (20 minutes + 5 minutes for questions)

• Panel Discussion

Submission Format

Abstracts for 20 minutes presentations. Abstracts must not exceed 1000 words.

Submission via Easy Chair:   https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cciw2023

Given the brevity of the abstracts, the PC may feel it needs more details during the selection process. If so, a PC Chair will contact the author asking for clarifications or elaborations and provide those back to the reviewers.
