DESCRIPTION:While software testing continues to be the primary approach use
 d in practice to ensure the development of high-quality software\, student
 s graduating with a Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree in computer scienc
 e or software engineering may not be properly trained for doing software t
 esting cost-effectively. To increase awareness of this problem and to give
  students a taste of how software testing may be conducted and how to meas
 ure the quality of the test cases used for testing a program\, we organize
 d an International Contest on Software Testing (ICST) on March 30\, 2024. 
 This has been held as an annual event for the last several years.\n\nMore
