ISSTA 2020 已经于 7 月 18 日线上开幕，并将于 22 日结束！International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis（ISSTA）是关于软件测试和分析的重要国际性研究专题讨论会，会议汇集了大量学者、工业界研究人员以及相关实践者，就如何分析和测试软件系统交换新思想、问题和经验。
今年的主题演讲人为来自麻省理工学院电子电气与计算机科学系的 Barbara Liskov 教授。她是美国第一个计算机科学女博士，现为美国计算机科学家，2008 年图灵奖得主，2004 年约翰·冯诺依曼奖得主。
通过对 AMiner 平台中 ISSTA 2015-2019 这五年来收录论文数据的挖掘，从词云可以看出，ISSTA 的关键词主要集中在 Android Apps、Symbolic Execution、Android Application、Mobile Application、Web Application、Automatic Generation等方向。
通过对 2015-2019 这五年来接收论文中所有学者信息的提取，我们分析了这些学者的性别比例、国籍分布与语言分布情况。可以看出，ISSTA 的投稿学者以男性为主，占比 85.87%。从学者分布情况来看，投稿学者主要来自美国、中国、英国，分别占比 30.91、13.94%，11.52%。那么在过去五年中，ISSTA 又有哪些高引论文呢？有哪些论文在 ISSTA 舞台上大放异彩呢？
