Call For Papers - CFP

On one hand, the goal of this tighter collaboration is to deliver the software product faster to its production environment, by whatever means, procedures, or tools. On the other hand, establishing and certifying the quality of outcoming software and processes is strained by the “need for speed”.

This thematic track of the QUATIC 2018 conference seeks to shed light over the synergies and challenges in DevOps quality engineering. In so doing, we seek novel contributions, in the form of both short (~4 pages) and long papers(~9 pages), on any quality aspects, evaluations, fallacies, or pitfalls arising or playing a role in the context of DevOps.

The 2018 edition of the QUATIC conference will occur from the 4th to 7th of September in Coimbra. Dates for paper submission and acceptance notification are:

Paper submission: Friday, April 20, 2018

Author's notifications: Friday, May 25, 2018

Camera ready submission: Friday, June 15, 2018

A special issue is planned in the respectable Journal of Software Evolution & Process (ISI-, DBLP, and Scopus-indexed) immediately after the event is closed.

Suggested topics of interest for these papers include, but are not limited to:

- Methods and models for software quality assessment in DevOps

- Techniques for software quality improvement in Devops

- Tools for quality assessment and/or improvement during DevOps developments

- Experiences on the impact of software quality engineering in DevOps

- Experiences on the impact of DevOps practices in consolidated Quality engineering processes.

- Emergent Quality Properties of DevOps Architectures

- Analysing, Testing, or otherwise assessing the Quality of DevOps Processes

- DevOps Tools, that is, tools or technical approaches that fit in the DevOps paradigm

- Qualities of skills and human aspects of DevOps engineers;

- Quality and Quality assessment of DevOps processes;

- Quality of Education of DevOps engineers;

- Continuous Aspects of Quality Assurance;

- Qualities changed or introduced by DevOps practices, e.g., quality of Infrastructures and quality of Infrastructure-as-Code;

- Quality of DevOps Architectural Styles, e.g., Microservices Quality;
