Welcome

LAWST – The Los Altos Workshop on Software Testing

In the navigation you will find brief descriptions of several workshops and links to a variety of LAWST-inspired workshop in the U.S. and Canada.

What makes a LAWST meeting different from most is the format. Attendance is by application or invitation, and limited to 15-20 participants. Instead of several topics which are only glanced at, a LAWST conference has only 2 or 3 very specific topics, with the goal being to work on at least one thoroughly. Discussion does not end until the group is satisfied. Attendees are highly encouraged to challenge the results of the presenter, who must defend the work being presented. After discussion, specific statements are collected and voted upon. These statements will probably be published, and belong to everyone in the group.
