Track: Quality Aspects in Cloud-based Platforms and Services

The QUATIC track on Quality Aspects in Cloud-based Platforms and Services aims to bring together researchers from Academia with the aim of sharing new ideas and present research on the state of the art in testing cloud-native applications, or leveraging cloud services for quality testing in some way, including, testing in the cloud, testing for the cloud, and testing of the cloud.

One of the key properties of cloud technologies is their promise for scalability and resilience, along with the ability to use many services provided and managed by cloud providers. Those properties pose a big challenge when it comes to testing. On one side, cloud-based applications might need to test for resiliency and scalability. On the other side, testing tools need to be brought to the cloud, and they also need to be aware of the cloud in order to assess the quality of the application.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Testing Quality in the cloud
  • Quality Testing for the cloud
  • Quality Testing of the cloud
