Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering

Abstract

FASE 2021 hosted the 3rd International Competition on Software Testing (Test-Comp 2021). Test-Comp is an annual comparative evaluation of testing tools. This edition contained 11 participating tools, from academia and industry. These proceedings contain the competition report and three system descriptions of participating tools. The system-description papers were reviewed and selected by a separate program committee: the Test-Comp jury. Each paper was assessed by at least three reviewers. Two sessions in the FASE program were reserved for the presentation of the results: the summary by the Test-Comp chair and the participating tools by the developer teams in the first session, and the community meeting in the second session. A lot of people contributed to the success of FASE 2021. We are grateful to the Program Committee members and reviewers for their thorough reviews and constructive discussions. We thank the ETAPS 2021 organizers, in particular, Peter Y. A. Ryan (General Chair), Joaquin Garcia-Alfaro (Workshops Chair), Peter Roenne (Organization Chair), Magali Martin (Event Manager), David Mestel (Publicity Chair) and Alfredo Rial (Local Proceedings Chair). We also thank Marieke Huisman (Steering Committee Chair of ETAPS 2021) for managing the process, and Gabriele Taenzter (Steering Committee Chair of FASE 2021) for her feedback and support. Last but not least, we would like to thank the authors for their excellent work.
