Evaluating Code Summarization Techniques: A New Metric and an Empirical Characterization
Antonio Mastropaolo, Matteo Ciniselli, Massimiliano Di Penta +1
Several code summarization techniques have been proposed in the literature to automatically document a code snippet or a function. Ideally, software developers should be involved i…
Log Statements Generation via Deep Learning: Widening the Support Provided to Developers
Antonio Mastropaolo, Valentina Ferrari, Luca Pascarella +1
Logging assists in monitoring events that transpire during the execution of software. Previous research has highlighted the challenges confronted by developers when it comes to log…
Toward Automatically Completing GitHub Workflows
Antonio Mastropaolo, Fiorella Zampetti, Gabriele Bavota +1
Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) are nowadays at the core of software development. Their benefits come at the cost of setting up and maintaining the CI/CD pipeline, whic…
Towards Automatically Addressing Self-Admitted Technical Debt: How Far Are We?
Antonio Mastropaolo, Massimiliano Di Penta, Gabriele Bavota
Upon evolving their software, organizations and individual developers have to spend a substantial effort to pay back technical debt, i.e., the fact that software is released in a s…
