This volume contains the papers presented at the 7th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGSOFT Workshop on Program Analysis for Software Tools and Engineering. This edition of PASTE is co-located with PLDI, which in turn is part of FCRC 2007, held in San Diego, CA in June 2007. >As in previous years, the goal of PASTE remains to bring together researchers and practitioners of program analysis techniques, with a particular eye on the application of these techniques to software engineering tasks. >We received 35 submissions from around the world, of which we accepted 11. We rejected 2 papers that were well beyond the prescribed page limit; each remaining paper was reviewed by 3 PC members. In some cases we solicited additional reviews from independent experts. In particular, we would like to thank Jeffrey Foster, Ondrej Lhotak, Koushik Sen, Tim Sherwood, and Clark Verbrugge. We thank the PC for their diligence with the review process. >This year, we chose to solicit proposals for one-hour research-group presentations in lieu of invited talks. Each presentation includes an overview of a research direction followed by a few short presentations on particular aspects of the work. We received 4 strong submissions, and the PC chose to accept all 4. We believe this format achieves many goals including fostering a workshop atmosphere aligned with the interests of the community, providing agenda-oriented talks typically seen only with invited speakers, and giving students an opportunity to present work as part of a larger research program. We thank the presenters for embracing this new format, and we look forward to their presentations at the workshop.
