Abstract

In conjunction with the 10th anniversary of conferences devoted to the topic of software architecture, and eight years after the previous edition of the ROSATEA event, we want to evaluate how much of the expectations from this new discipline have been covered in software architecture-based testing and analysis.Since the previous ROSATEA, the software architecture field has evolved in many directions: new specification languages for software architectures have been proposed, the most recent ones based on model-driven notations. Software architecture modeling and analysis has been integrated in the software life cycle. The interest is moving from static architecture to dynamic and evolving architectures and to architecture for system families. A tight synergy in between component-based systems and software architectures has been achieved.While the first ROSATEA workshop investigated the theme "se son rose, fioriranno" (i.e., if they are roses, they will flourish) to investigate how much we could expect from this area, this workshop will be centered on the topic "son fiorite, ed ora quanto cresceranno?" (i.e., they flourished, and how much will they grow?) to investigate how current testing and analysis techniques meet new standards and future trends in the light of the current advances in the software architecture and testing fields, and how integration of analysis techniques is feasible and practicable especially in industrial contexts.
