TestCom/FATES 2007

For the first time, the IFIP International Conference on Testing of Communicating Systems (TestCom) and the Workshop on Formal Approaches to Testing of Software (FATES) will be conducted jointly as TestCom/FATES in Tallinn in the Summer of 2007. Bringing together the communities of these two established testing events promises to become a major testing event of 2007.
