Message from the ITEQS 2019 Chairs

Abstract

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the third edition of ITEQS, collocated with the 12th IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation (ICST 2019) in Xi’an, China. Due to the ever-increasing integration of software systems with the physical world, extrafunctional aspects such as performance, safety, security, and robustness become more important and play a central role in determining the overall system quality. Such extra-functional characteristics, which are also referred to as non-functional properties, complement the overall system functionality.
