Code clone detection is an important problem for software maintenance and evolution. Many
approaches consider either structure or identifiers, but none of the existing detection …

Testing involves examining the behaviour of a system in order to discover potential faults.
Given an input for a system, the challenge of distinguishing the corresponding desired …

The test case generation is intrinsically a multi-objective problem, since the goal is covering
multiple test targets (eg, branches). Existing search-based approaches either consider one …

The term 'crowdsourcing'was initially introduced in 2006 to describe an emerging distributed
problem-solving model by online workers. Since then it has been widely studied and …

Software fault localization, the act of identifying the locations of faults in a program, is widely
recognized to be one of the most tedious, time consuming, and expensive-yet equally critical …

Deep learning subsumes algorithms that automatically learn compositional representations.
The ability of these models to generalize well has ushered in tremendous advances in many …

In the field of automated program repair, the redundancy assumption claims large programs
contain the seeds of their own repair. However, most redundancy-based program repair …

Testing involves examining the behaviour of a system in order to discover potential faults.
Determining the desired correct behaviour for a given input is called the “oracle problem” …

Writing good unit tests can be tedious and error prone, but even once they are written, the
job is not done: Developers need to reason about unit tests throughout software …

The readability of software code is a key success criterion for understanding and
maintaining software systems and tests. In industry practice, a limited number of guidelines …
