  The RET (Requirements Engineering and Testing) workshop series provides a
meeting point for researchers and practitioners from the two separate fields of
Requirements Engineering (RE) and Testing. The goal is to improve the
connection and alignment of these two areas through an exchange of ideas,
challenges, practices, experiences and results. The long term aim is to build a
community and a body of knowledge within the intersection of RE and Testing,
i.e. RET. The 3rd workshop was held in co-location with REFSQ 2016 in
Gothenburg, Sweden. The workshop continued in the same interactive vein as the
predecessors and included a keynote, paper presentations with ample time for
discussions, and panels. In order to create an RET knowledge base, this
crosscutting area elicits contributions from both RE and Testing, and from both
researchers and practitioners. A range of papers were presented from short
positions papers to full research papers that cover connections between the two
fields.
