Abstract

The main objective of the RET workshop was to explore the interaction of Requirements Engineering (RE) and Testing, i.e. RET, in research and industry, and the challenges that result from this interaction. While much work has been done in the respective fields of requirements engineering and testing, there exists much more than can be done to understand the connection between the processes of RE and of testing.
