IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification, and Validation.
For an entire week, Naples was the international center of software research, hosting the 18th IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification, and Validation (ICST 2025). The event was held at the Conference Center of the University of Naples Federico II on Via Partenope, with record attendance of nearly 300 people from both academia and industry.
The conference, organized with the contribution of the Federico II University, is one of the world's leading events for researchers, engineers, practitioners and experts in the field to discuss the latest developments in the field of Software testing, verification and validation.
The 2025 edition of ICST, led by General Chairs Anna Rita Fasolino, Full Professor of Software Engineering at the University Federico II, and Sebastiano Panichella, Senior Researcher of Computer Science at the University of Bern, was distinguished by a particularly rich and diverse program, which included:
- Research, Industry and Educational Track
- Posters and Tool and Data Showcases
- Sessions on emerging visions and results
- Doctoral symposium and Journal-First presentations
- Innovative Tool Competitions:
- Testing of self-driving cars
- Testing of unmanned aerial vehicles
- 10 co-located workshops focused on specialized and emerging topics
- Tutorials and technical briefings led by international experts
Highlights of the conference included Keynote Lectures by world-renowned speakers, who offered in-depth insights into the future of software engineering and how Artificial Intelligence techniques are innovating and changing this field.
The Conference also hosted an interesting panel discussion with experts from academia and industry on emerging challenges and opportunities in software testing(https://conf.researchr.org/info/icst-2025/panel).
Finally, ICST 2025 provided an opportunity to explore the latest advances in the following areas:
- AI-assisted software testing
- Testing of AI-based systems
- Software reliability, security and performance
- Validation and verification techniques
- Teaching Software Testing
The event was organized with the with contributions from a number of international institutions, including the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (DIETI) of the Federico II University, the University of Bern, CerICT (Regional Center for Information Communication Technology) and the IEEE Computer Society- Technical Community of Software Engineering.
