As software systems continue to grow in complexity, testing has become a fundamental part of ensuring the quality and reliability of software products. Yet, software testing is still often perceived, both in industry and academia, as a…

Mocking allows testing program units in isolation. A developer who writes tests with mocks faces two challenges: design realistic interactions between a unit and its environment; and understand the expected impact of these interactions on…

ARES OS 2.0 (hereinafter ARES OS) is an open-source software suite to enable laboratory automation and closed-loop autonomous experimentation. Its function is to orchestrate experimental actions and data handoff between lab equipment,…

JavaScript is an increasingly popular language for server-side development, thanks in part to the Node.js runtime environment and its vast ecosystem of modules. With the Node.js package manager npm, users are able to easily include external…

Modern software development teams are distributed across onsite and off-shore locations. Each team has developers with varying experience levels and English communication skills. In such a diverse development environment it is important to…

Completeness is a desirable property of test suites. Roughly, completeness guarantees that a non-equivalent implementation under test will always be identified. Several approaches proposed sufficient, and sometimes also necessary,…

For the past six years, researchers in genetic programming and other program synthesis disciplines have used the General Program Synthesis Benchmark Suite to benchmark many aspects of automatic program synthesis systems. These problems have…

Modern software development demands rapid, reliable testing methods to maintain high quality in increasingly complex systems. This paper details a comprehensive approach to designing and implementing robust test automation frameworks by…

Defects4J is a large, peer-reviewed, structured dataset of real-world Java bugs. Each bug in Defects4J is provided with a test suite and at least one failing test case that triggers the bug. In this paper, we report on an experiment to…

Software bugs often lead to software crashes, which cost US companies upwards of $2.08 trillion annually. Automated Crash Reproduction (ACR) aims to generate unit tests that successfully reproduce a crash. The goal of ACR is to aid…

Mobile applications are being used every day by more than half of the world's population to perform a great variety of tasks. With the increasingly widespread usage of these applications, the need arises for efficient techniques to test…

Keeping track of and managing Self-Admitted Technical Debts (SATDs) are important to maintaining a healthy software project. This requires much time and effort from human experts to identify the SATDs manually. The current automated…

The software development lifecycle depends heavily on the testing process, which is an essential part of finding issues and reviewing the quality of software. Software testing can be done in two ways: manually and automatically. With an…

As modern software systems continue to grow in complexity, triage has become a fundamental process in system operations and maintenance. Triage aims to efficiently prioritize, assign, and assess issues to ensure the reliability of complex…

Flaw-finding static analysis tools typically generate large volumes of code flaw alerts including many false positives. To save on human effort to triage these alerts, a significant body of work attempts to use machine learning to classify…

Mutation testing is used to evaluate the effectiveness of test suites. In recent years, a promising variation called extreme mutation testing emerged that is computationally less expensive. It identifies methods where their functionality…

As large language models are integrated into society, robustness toward a suite of prompts is increasingly important to maintain reliability in a high-variance environment.Robustness evaluations must comprehensively encapsulate the various…

Automatic testing is a widely adopted technique for improving software quality. Software developers add, remove and update test methods and test classes as part of the software development process as well as during the evolution phase,…

Executing large test suites is time and resource consuming, sometimes impossible, and such test suites typically contain many redundant test cases. Hence, test case minimization is used to remove redundant test cases that are unlikely to…

Checking software application suitability using automated software tools has become a vital element for most organisations irrespective of whether they produce in-house software or simply customise off-the-shelf software applications for…
