Software Quality: The Complexity and Challenges of Software Engineering and Software Quality in the Cloud 11th International Conference, SWQD 2019, Vienna, Austria, January 15–18, 2019, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th Software Quality Days Conference, SWQD 2019, held in Vienna, Austria, in January 2019.

The Software Quality Days (SWQD) conference started in 2009 and has grown to the biggest conference on software quality in Europe with a strong community. The program of the SWQD conference is designed to encompass a stimulating mixture of practical presentations and new research topics in scientific presentations. The guiding conference topic of the SWQD 2019 is “The Complexity and Challenges of Software Engineering and Software Quality in the Cloud”.

The 5 full papers and 3 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 17 submissions. The volume also contains 2 invited talks. The contributions were organized in topical sections named: multi-disciplinary systems and software engineering; software quality and process improvement; software testing; knowledge engineering and machine learning; source code analysis; and software maintenance.
