TL;DR
This issue of the PACMSE journal publishes 210 articles that were submitted in response to a call for papers soliciting high-quality submissions, from both industry and academia, which describe original and unpublished results of theoretical, empirical, conceptual, and experimental research on software testing and analysis.
Abstract
The Proceedings of the ACM series presents the highest-quality research conducted in diverse areas of computer science, as represented by the ACM Special Interest Groups. The Proceedings of the ACM on Software Engineering (PACMSE) focuses on top-quality, original research on all aspects of software engineering, from requirements elicitation to quality assessment and from design to maintenance, evolution, and deployment. PACMSE covers a broad range of topics and methods that help conceive, create, and maintain better software, be it embedded, cloud-based, mobile, ubiquitous, or one that runs on conventional computers. The journal welcomes contributions to new methodologies, tools, theories, and models, as well as empirical studies and survey papers related to the wide spectrum of software engineering topics. We particularly welcome contributions that offer additional artifacts, such as code, datasets, etc., in the light of reproducibility. The journal operates in close collaboration with the ACM Special Interest Group on Software Engineering (SIGSOFT) and is committed to making high-quality peer-reviewed scientific research in software engineering free of restrictions on both access and use. This issue of the PACMSE journal publishes 210 articles that were submitted in response to a call for papers soliciting high-quality submissions, from both industry and academia, which describe original and unpublished results of theoretical, empirical, conceptual, and experimental research on software testing and analysis.
