Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Approaches and tools for improving test automation effectiveness and ROI, for example by
○ Reducing development and maintenance efforts/costs (e.g., automated generation of test code and self-healing test scripts)
○ Increasing test coverage and bug detection
- Costs and benefits of Test Automation in modern systems and applications, for example:
○ Web applications
○ Mobile applications (e.g., Android, iOS)
○ Internet of things systems
○ Machine learning and artificial intelligence based systems
- Costs and benefits of Test Automation at any testing level, for example:
○ End-to-End, acceptance, integration, functional, unit
- Measurement frameworks relevant for Test Automation
○ Software and process metrics
○ Technical debt in software testing
- Empirical studies concerning costs and benefits analysis and evaluating the cost-benefit trade-off of Test Automation (note that Surveys, (Systematic) Literature Reviews or Mapping Studies are out of the scope of the special issue and will be desk-rejected)
○ Experiments
○ Case studies
○ Comparative experiences and evaluations
