Towards More Realistic Evaluation for Neural Test Oracle Generation
Zhongxin Liu, Kui Liu, Xin Xia +1
Effective unit tests can help guard and improve software quality but require a substantial amount of time and effort to write and maintain. A unit test consists of a test prefix an…
CCRep: Learning Code Change Representations via Pre-Trained Code Model and Query Back
Zhongxin Liu, Zhijie Tang, Xin Xia +1
Representing code changes as numeric feature vectors, i.e., code change representations, is usually an essential step to automate many software engineering tasks related to code ch…
Defect Identification, Categorization, and Repair: Better Together
Chao Ni, Kaiwen Yang, Xin Xia +3
Just-In-Time defect prediction (JIT-DP) models can identify defect-inducing commits at check-in time. Even though previous studies have achieved a great progress, these studies sti…
Smart Contract Security: a Practitioners' Perspective
Zhiyuan Wan, Xin Xia, David Lo +3
Smart contracts have been plagued by security incidents, which resulted in substantial financial losses. Given numerous research efforts in addressing the security issues of smart…
psc2code: Denoising Code Extraction from Programming Screencasts
Lingfeng Bao, Zhenchang Xing, Xin Xia +3
In this paper, we propose an approach named psc2code to denoise the process of extracting source code from programming screencasts. First, psc2code leverages the Convolutional Neur…
