SCOPE

TAROT (Training And Research On Testing) is a meeting point for people
interested in the field of software testing and related areas. It provides a
friendly environment for students to interact with practitioners and leaders in
research both in academia and in industry. The program includes Intro Talks
where students are encouraged to present their work, tools, and testing-related
topics, and receive feedback. TAROT 2015 [https://tarot2015.uca.es] is organized
by the UCASE Software Engineering Research Group [https://ucase.uca.es] at the
University of Cádiz [https://www.uca.es], Spain.

VENUE

TAROT 2015 will be hosted in the beautiful coastal town of Cádiz
[http://goo.gl/gUrRH0]. A well-known destination in Southern Spain, in the
Andalusia [http://goo.gl/ZkNUxc] region, Cádiz [http://goo.gl/QE89Kf] is famous
by its history, picturesque landscapes and villages, beaches, unique culture,
and gastronomy. Following TAROT's tradition, we have aimed to an all-included
registration. The event will be held in Hotel Barceló Cádiz (****)
[http://goo.gl/hxIlZC], less than three minutes walking distance from Victoria
Beach:

The hotel is located in the middle of Cádiz main avenue, a vibrant zone with
many things to do, well-connected to the historical downtown and shopping
areas. Registration includes 5 nights in the aforementioned hotel, breakfasts,
meals, coffees, and even the social events, including a lavish dinner at a
gifted location.

This is undoubtedly the best season in Cádiz, with long days full with the
light reflected by the surrounding blue waters and nice nights inviting you to
walk shoeless on the shores while enjoying an ice cream. At the beginning of
our high season, excellent weather and slow-paced enjoyment of the venue
surroundings by all the attendees is expected. Cádiz in July is a must-see for
visitors, who enjoy strolling by the longest urban seaside in Spain and stare
at the beautiful sunsets at Victoria, Santa María and La Caleta beaches.

The nearest international airport is Jerez Airport (XRY), just 45 km from
Cádiz. The airport is connected to Cádiz by taxi, intercity buses, commuter
lines, and medium-distance trains. Sevilla Airport (SVQ), 132 km from Cádiz, is
also connected to Cádiz through intercity buses and medium-distance trains.
