Abstract :
THIS special collection had its genesis at the IEEE Computer Society Workshop on Software Testing and Test Documentation, held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, during December 18-20, 1978. This collection is devoted to selected papers on program testing that were presented at the Workshop. It contains six papers whose concerns span a wide range: theoretical issues, practical expenence With particular strategies, extension of a class of techniques to new classes of language constructs, and building integrated test tools. In the next section, we present an overview of the papers in the collection.
