Measuring and evaluating source code similarity is a fundamental software engineering
activity that embraces a broad range of applications, including but not limited to code …

The accuracy reported for code smell-detecting tools varies depending on the dataset used
to evaluate the tools. Our survey of 45 existing datasets reveals that the adequacy of a …

Unlike most other software quality attributes, testability cannot be evaluated solely based on
the characteristics of the source code. The effectiveness of the test suite and the budget …

To prevent the degradation of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and optimize the solar energy
conversion process, a donor–π–acceptor (D–π–A) organic blue dye as a passivation layer …

Test-first development (TFD) is a software development approach involving automated tests
before writing the actual code. TFD offers many benefits, such as improving code quality …

Numerous scientific, health care, and industrial applications are showing increasing interest
in developing optical pH sensors with low-cost, high precision that cover a wide pH range …

A fuzzer can literally run forever. However, as more resources are spent, the coverage rate
continuously drops, and the utility of the fuzzer declines. To tackle this coverage-resource …

Context The quality of software systems is significantly influenced by design testability, an
aspect often overlooked during the initial phases of software development. The …

Testability prediction can help developers identify software components that require
significant effort to ensure software quality, plan test activities, and recognize the need for …

The cost of the testing rises exponentially as the size of the code under test grows. TDD and
BDD aggravate the cost by using failing tests to conduct the design and implementation …
