• Sommario/riassunto: Darius I, King of Persia, claims to have accomplished many deeds in the early years of his reign, but was one of them the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem? The editor who added the date to the books of Haggai and Zechariah thought so, and the author of Ezra 1-6 then relied on his dates when writing his account of the rebuilding process. The genealogical information contained in the book of Nehemiah, however, suggests otherwise; it indicates that Zerubbabel and Nehemiah were either contemporaries, or a generation apart in age, not some 65 years apart. Thus, either Zerubabbel and the temple

• Sommario/riassunto: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 32nd IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Testing Software and Systems, ICTSS 2020, which was supposed to be held in Naples, Italy, in December 2020, but was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 17 regular papers and 4 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 submissions. ICTSS is a series of international conferences addressing the conceptual, theoretic, and practical problems of testing software systems, including communication protocols, services, distributed platforms, middleware, embedded and cyber-physical systems, and security infrastructures. The papers are organized in the topical sections named: model-based testing; security testing; testing methods and applications; testing methods and automation; and short contributions.
