TestCom/FATES 2007
For the first time, the IFIP International Conference on Testing of Communicating Systems (TestCom) and the Workshop on Formal Approaches to Testing of Software (FATES) will be conducted jointly as TestCom/FATES in Tallinn in the Summer of 2007. Bringing together the communities of these two established testing events promises to become a major testing event of 2007.
International Conference on Testing of Communicating Systems (TestCom)
TestCom/FATES 2007 is the 19th event in a series of international workshops and conferences. Formerly TestCom was known as the International Workshop for Protocol Test Systems (IWPTS). Nine workshops took place:
