Testing Academia and Industry Conference - Practice and Research Techniques

这项建议是申请拨款，作为在英国举办国际软件测试研讨会的部分支持，该研讨会名为测试学院和工业会议-实践与研究技术(TAIC部分)。研讨会将结合业界和学术界的参与，以加强和发展英国在软件测试领域的领导地位。这次活动建立在以前在英国举办的较小的测试研讨会的基础上。虽然它在性质上仍然是一个研讨会，但该活动的标题包括了一个允许未来发展的词‘会议’。这些活动稳步建立了一个强大的研究人员和实业家社区，现在是该活动成熟为一个更大、更雄心勃勃的活动的时机成熟了。为了实现这一增长，向EPSRC寻求资金以支持此次活动。这笔资金将用来支持会议的费用。为了表明他们对这一项目的认真承诺，几个行业合作伙伴提出以适度(但有用的)赞助水平支持这次活动。

This proposal is a request for funding as partial support for holding the an International Workshop on Software Testing in the UK called Testing Academia \& Industrial Conference - Practice And Research Techniques (TAIC PART).The workshop will combine industrial and academic participation to strengthen and develop UK leadership in the area of software testing.This event builds upon previous smaller workshops on testing held in the UK. Although it remains a workshop in character, the event's title includes the word `conference' to allowfor future growth.These events have steadily built a strong community of researchers and industrialists and the timeis now ripe for this event to mature into a large more ambitious event. In order to achieve this growth, funding is sought from EPSRC to support the event. This funding will be used tosupport the costs of the meeting. As a sign of their serious commitment to this venture, several of the industrial partners haveoffered to support the event with a modest (but useful) level of sponsorship.
