An Empirical Study of Gemini 3 for Detecting Natural Language Test Smells in Manual Test Cases

Keila Lucas, Rohit Gheyi, Márcio Ribeiro +3

Manual testing, in which testers follow natural language instructions to validate system behavior, remains essential for uncovering issues that are difficult to capture with automa…

Agentic LMs: Hunting Down Test Smells

Rian Melo, Pedro Simões, Rohit Gheyi +5

Test smells reduce test suite reliability and complicate maintenance. While many methods detect test smells, few support automated removal, and most rely on static analysis or mach…
