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 during the QRS 2020 conference week in Macau, China. The conference is postponed from July 27-31 to December 11-14 (workshop date is December 13). It will adopt a hybrid model allowing either in-person or online remote presentations. Conference proceedings (including accepted STV submissions) and companions have been published via IEEE.
