Reviving the Workshop Series on Testing Database Systems - DBTest.

With the ever increasing complexity of database systems and their pervasive use in industry, testing them has been an important issue for a long time. Recognizing this relevance, researchers and industry have started the Workshop Series on Testing Database Systems in 2008 collocated with ACM SIGMOD. Six instances of the workshop were successfully run until 2013.
