CALL FOR EXPERIENCE REPORTS TRACK PAPERS
SBQS 2018: XVII Brazilian Symposium on Software Quality
October 17 - 19, 2018 Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil
THE SBQS
The Brazilian Software Quality Symposium (SBQS) is the main Brazilian forum dedicated to Software Quality. The quality of software manifests itself in two complementary and dependent aspects: Process Quality and Product Quality. With the current heavy reliance on software and aggregated services, research into software quality and its application in products and services is both a necessity and a differential to provide value to organizations and their businesses.
Since its inception, the SBQS has been instrumental in the exchange of experiences between academia and industry, where researchers, educators, and the Software Quality and Software Engineering practice community meet to present and discuss ideas, experiences, and discoveries with a view to to innovation with the potential to positively influence the software industry. The SBQS 2018 will have 3 tracks: Technical Work Track, Experience Report Track and Software Quality Education Track.
Aim and Scope
This track is interested in contributions that are based on practical cases, where approaches, models, techniques, tools, etc. that support Software Quality have been used in companies, generating new knowledge after its evaluation. Its main purpose is to bring to the public the SBQS reports of experiences that can be discussed and implemented by other companies and / or considered as relevant knowledge for future research in Software Quality.
