QSIC 2O1O 
10th International Conference on 

Quality Software 

Zhangjiajie, China, July 14.15, 2010 

 



 


 


 

Background 

Software is playing an ever-increasing 
role in our society. On the other hand, 
software systems often fail to deliver 
as promised. It is widely known that 
unresolved errors remain in many 
software systems that we are using 
every day. 

The QSIC series of conferences 
provide a forum to bring together 
researchers and practitioners working 
towards improving the quality of 
software. It focuses on innovative 
methodologies, techniques, tools, 
management and applications in this 
challenging area, and exchange ideas 
on them. 

The preceding conferences in the 
series were held over four continents, in 
Hong Kong; Dallas, USA; Braunschweig, 
Germany; Melbourne, Australia; Beijing, 
China; Portland, Oregon, USA; Oxford, 
UK; and Jeju, Korea. Since 2009, IEEE 
Reliability Society has been one of the 
sponsors of the conference. 

 

Call for Papers 

QSIC 2010 will be held in Zhangjiajie,
