Special Section on Software Quality Assurance: Research and Practice
W. Eric Wong · IEEE Transactions on Reliability · 2016
The papers in this special section are devoted to the topic of software quality assurance. As software is integrated more frequently into every aspect of our lives, as it grows more quickly in size and function, as its failure in operations causes increasingly devastating consequences, and as schedules and budgets are continually reduced despite the need for high-quality, reliable, and secure software, advanced and innovative technologies must be developed to achieve software quality assurance more effectively and efficiently. It is also critical for the industry and academia to work together to conduct cooperative research to reduce the gap between state-of-the-art analyses and practice applications.
