This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 30th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Testing Software and Systems, ICTSS 2018, held in Cádiz, Spain, in October 2018. The 8 regular and 6 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions. ICTSS is a series of international conferences addressing the conceptual, theoretic, and practical problems of testing software systems, including communication protocols, services, distributed platforms, middleware, embedded- and cyber-physical-systems, and security infrastructures.

This book offers a practical introduction to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to improve and optimise the various phases of the software development process, from the initial project planning to the latest deployment. All chapters were written by leading experts in the field and include practical and reproducible examples. Following the introductory chapter, Chapters 2-9 respectively apply AI techniques to the classic phases of the software development process: project management, requirement engineering, analysis and design, coding, cloud deployment, unit and system testing, and maintenance. Subsequently, Chapters 10 and 11 provide foundational tutorials on the AI techniques used in the preceding chapters: metaheuristics and machine learning. Given its scope and focus, the book represents a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners and students with a basic grasp of software engineering.
