ISSTA 2020

The ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis is the leading research symposium on software testing and analysis, bringing together academics, industrial researchers, and practitioners to exchange new ideas, problems, and experience on how to analyze and test software systems. ISSTA 2020 will be held on July 18-22, 2020.

05/19/2020 update: Due to the COVID-19 situation, ISSTA 2020 will no longer held in person in Los Angeles. Instead, we are organizing a virtual conference.

The list of accepted papers for the technical track is available at: https://conf.researchr.org/track/issta-2020/issta-2020-papers#event-overview

The tentative schedule for the virtual events is available at: https://conf.researchr.org/attending/issta-2020/program

Attending ISSTA 2020 Virtually (Please Read)

Registered attendees for ISSTA 2020 will be invited to join the ISSTA 2020 Slack Workspace shortly before the conference begins. We will use Slack as a home-base for discussion and Q&A. From Slack, registered attendees will also find the link to join the ISSTA 2020 Zoom Meeting. Joining the Zoom meeting will let you watch talks and interact with speakers.

All sessions (except for the doctoral symposium) will also be simulcast on YouTube for the general public (and anyone who did not pre-register for ISSTA) to watch. Each ISSTA session has its own YouTube link; please find the YouTube stream for each session listed immediately under the session in the conference program. There is a 10-30 second delay between Zoom and YouTube, so we strongly encourage all presenters and registered attendees to join the Zoom call directly, rather than watching on YouTube.
