The Design Space of Lockfiles Across Package Managers
Yogya Gamage, Deepika Tiwari, Martin Monperrus +1
Software developers reuse third-party packages that are hosted in package registries. At build time, a package manager resolves and fetches the direct and indirect dependencies of…
PROZE: Generating Parameterized Unit Tests Informed by Runtime Data
Deepika Tiwari, Yogya Gamage, Martin Monperrus +1
Typically, a conventional unit test (CUT) verifies the expected behavior of the unit under test through one specific input / output pair. In contrast, a parameterized unit test (PU…
Detecting and removing bloated dependencies in CommonJS packages
Yuxin Liu, Deepika Tiwari, Cristian Bogdan +1
JavaScript packages are notoriously prone to bloat, a factor that significantly impacts the performance and maintainability of web applications. While web bundlers and tree-shaking…
Serializing Java Objects in Plain Code
Julian Wachter, Deepika Tiwari, Martin Monperrus +1
In managed languages, serialization of objects is typically done in bespoke binary formats such as Protobuf, or markup languages such as XML or JSON. The major limitation of these…
With Great Humor Comes Great Developer Engagement
Deepika Tiwari, Tim Toady, Martin Monperrus +1
The worldwide collaborative effort for the creation of software is technically and socially demanding. The more engaged developers are, the more value they impart to the software t…
Generative AI to Generate Test Data Generators
Benoit Baudry, Khashayar Etemadi, Sen Fang +7
Generating fake data is an essential dimension of modern software testing, as demonstrated by the number and significance of data faking libraries. Yet, developers of faking librar…
RICK: Generating Mocks from Production Data
Deepika Tiwari, Martin Monperrus, Benoit Baudry
Test doubles, such as mocks and stubs, are nifty fixtures in unit tests. They allow developers to test individual components in isolation from others that lie within or outside of…
Automatic Specialization of Third-Party Java Dependencies
César Soto-Valero, Deepika Tiwari, Tim Toady +1
Large-scale code reuse significantly reduces both development costs and time. However, the massive share of third-party code in software projects poses new challenges, especially i…
Mimicking Production Behavior with Generated Mocks
Deepika Tiwari, Martin Monperrus, Benoit Baudry
Mocking allows testing program units in isolation. A developer who writes tests with mocks faces two challenges: design realistic interactions between a unit and its environment; a…
Harvesting Production GraphQL Queries to Detect Schema Faults
Louise Zetterlund, Deepika Tiwari, Martin Monperrus +1
GraphQL is a new paradigm to design web APIs. Despite its growing popularity, there are few techniques to verify the implementation of a GraphQL API. We present a new testing appro…
Production Monitoring to Improve Test Suites
Deepika Tiwari, Long Zhang, Martin Monperrus +1
In this paper, we propose to use production executions to improve the quality of testing for certain methods of interest for developers. These methods can be methods that are not c…
Automatic Observability for Dockerized Java Applications
Long Zhang, Deepika Tiwari, Brice Morin +2
Docker is a virtualization technique heavily used in the industry to build cloud-based systems. In the context of Docker, a system is said to be observable if engineers can get acc…
