Automated Test Case Repair Using Language Models

Understand

Ensuring the quality of software systems through testing is essential, yet maintaining test cases poses significant challenges and costs.

• The need for frequent updates to align with the evolving system under test often entails high complexity and cost for maintaining these test cases.
• Further, unrepaired broken test cases can degrade test suite quality and disrupt the software development process, wasting developers' time.
• To address this challenge, we present TaRGET (Test Repair GEneraTor), a novel approach leveraging pre-trained code language models for automated test case repair.
