System testing and validation is an area which has been the focus of many research efforts for decades. Yet, due to new challenges resulting from new development processes, such as SCRUM used in agile development and new aspects of large scale system integration, the need for efficient testing has been seeing much resent research. That is why this workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of system testing and validation. The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing work in progress, or ideas for future research in response to future trends.

The workshop will be hosted by ETSI in Sophia Antipolis (France) the day before UCAAT 2015, together with INTUITEST. We like to encourage all STV15/INTUITEST participants also to attend UCAAT2015. This year STV is supported by the European projects MIDAS and RASEN.
