This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Tests and Proofs, TAP 2018, held as part of STAF 2018, in Toulouse, France, in June 2018. The 8 regular papers, 2 short papers, 1 invited paper and 1 invited tutorial presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 18 submissions.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics, TPHOLs 2003, held in Rome, Italy in September 2003.The 24 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on hardware and Assembler languages, proof automation, fool combination, logic extensions, theorem prover technology, mathematical theories, and security. Among the theorem proving systems discussed are HOL, Coq, MetaPRL, and Isabelle/Isar.

Software validation is one of the most cost-intensive tasks in modern software production processes. The objective of FATES/RV 2006 was to bring sci- tists from both academia and industry together to discuss formal approaches to test and analyze programs and monitor and guide their executions. Formal approaches to test may cover techniques from areas like theorem proving, model checking, constraint resolution, static program analysis, abstract interpretation, Markov chains, and various others. Formal approaches to runtime veri?cation use formal techniques to improve traditional ad-hoc monitoring techniques used in testing, debugging, performance monitoring, fault protection, etc. The FATES/RV 2006 workshop selected 14 high-quality papers out of 31 submissions. Each paper underwent at least three anonymous reviews by either PCmembersorexternalreviewersselectedbythem.Inadditiontothe14regular papers, the proceedings contain two papers corresponding to the invited talks by Wolfgang Grieskamp (Microsoft Research, USA) and Oege de Moor (Oxford University, UK). This was the ?rst time that the two workshops, FATES and RV, were held together. The success of this joint edition shows that the integration of these two communities can be pro?table for both of them. Previous editions of these two events were held in the following places: FATES 2001 was held in A- borg (Denmark) and FATES 2002 in Brno (Czech Republic). In both cases, the workshop was a?liated with CONCUR. FATES 2003 and FATES 2004 were held in Montreal(Canada)and Vienna (Austria), respectively,in a?liationwith ASE.FATES 2005wasco-locatedwith CAV in Edinburgh(UK). Since 2003,the FATES workshop proceedings have been published by Springer (LNCS series).

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Tests and Proofs, TAP 2011, held in Zurich, Switzerland in June/July 2011.The 12 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. Among the topics covered are model checking, testing systems, test generation, symbolic testing, SAT solvers, SMT solvers, property-based testing, automated test generation, learning-based testing, UML, OCL, specification-based testing, and network testing.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 23rd IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Testing Software and Systems, ICTSS 2011, held in Paris, France, in November 2011. The 13 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully selected from 40 submissions. The papers address the conceptual, theoretic, and practical problems of testing software systems, including communication protocols, services, distributed platforms, middleware, controllers, and security infrastructures.
