Proof-oriented programs mix computational content with proofs of program correctness. However, the human effort involved in programming and proving is still substantial, despite the use of Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers to…

Unit testing is an essential component of software testing, with the assert statements playing an important role in determining whether the tested function operates as expected. Although research has explored automated test case generation,…

Unit testing plays a pivotal role in software development, improving software quality and reliability. However, generating effective test cases manually is time-consuming, prompting interest in unit testing research. Recently, Large…

Their highly adaptive nature and the combinatorial explosion of possible configurations makes testing context-oriented programs hard. We propose a methodology to automate the generation of test scenarios for developers of feature-based…

This paper investigates current software testing systems and explores how artificial intelligence, specifically Generative AI, can be integrated to enhance these systems. It begins by examining different types of AI systems and focuses on…

Software testing is essential to ensure system quality, but it remains time-consuming and error-prone when performed manually. Although recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled automated test generation, most existing…

Software testing is a core discipline in software engineering where a large array of research results has been produced, notably in the area of automatic test generation. Because existing approaches produce test cases that either can be…

Software defects heavily affect software's functionalities and may cause huge losses. Recently, many AI-based approaches have been proposed to detect defects, which can be divided into two categories: software defect prediction and…

Unit tests play a key role in ensuring the correctness of software. However, manually creating unit tests is a laborious task, motivating the need for automation. Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently been applied to this problem,…

Unit tests are an important artifact that supports the software development process in several ways. For example, when a test fails, its name can provide the first step towards understanding the purpose of the test. Unfortunately, unit…

We describe a novel approach to automating unit test generation for Java methods using large language models (LLMs). Existing LLM-based approaches rely on sample usage(s) of the method to test (focal method) and/or provide the entire class…

Learning basic programming with Scratch can be hard for novices and tutors alike: Students may not know how to advance when solving a task, teachers may face classrooms with many raised hands at a time, and the problem is exacerbated when…
