Workshop Description
The increasing use of software and the growing system complexity, in size, heterogeneity, autonomy, physical distribution, and dynamicity make focused software system testing a challenging task. Recent years have seen an increasing industrial and academic interest in the use of models for designing and testing software. Success has been reported using a range of types of models using a variety of specification formats, notations and formal languages, such as UML, SDL, B and Z.

Objective
The goal of the A-MOST workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the current state of the art and practice as well as future prospects for Model-Based software Testing (MBT). Issues to be considered are:

Models:
· Models for component, integration and system testing
· Product-line models
· (Hybrid) embedded system models
· Systems-of-systems models
· Architectural models
· Models for orchestration and choreography of services
· Executable models and simulation
· Environment and use models
· Non-functional models

Processes, Methods and Tools:
· Model-based test generation algorithms
· Application of model checking techniques in model-based testing
· Tracing from requirements model to test models
· Performance and predictability of model-driven development
· Test model evolution during the software lifecycle
· Risk-based approaches for MBT
· Generation of testing-infrastructures from models
· Combinatorial approaches for MBT
· Statistical testing

Experiences and Evaluation:
· Non-functional/Quantitative MBT
· Estimating dependability (e.g., security, safety, reliability) using MBT
· Coverage metrics and measurements for structural and (non-)functional models
· Cost of testing, economic impact of MBT
· Empirical validation, experiences, case studies using MBT
