SemaDiff: Identifying Semantic-Changing Commits with Generated Code and Tests

Maha Ayub, Michael Konstantinou, Ahmed Khanfir +2

Distinguishing semantic-preserving commits from changing ones remains an open challenge in software repository mining. While existing approaches detect refactoring commits accurate…

Intent-Based Mutation Testing: From Naturally Written Programming Intents to Mutants

Asma Hamidi, Ahmed Khanfir, Mike Papadakis

This paper presents intent-based mutation testing, a testing approach that generates mutations by changing the programming intents that are implemented in the programs under test.…

Round-Trip Mutation Testing: Translating Code to Natural Language Intent and back

Asma Hamidi, Cedric Richter, Ahmed Khanfir +1

This paper presents Round-Trip Mutation Testing (RTM), a novel approach that generates mutants from LLM mistranslations between a program code and its intent. Leveraging the genera…

Towards a more efficient bias detection in financial language models

Firas Hadj Kacem, Ahmed Khanfir, Mike Papadakis

Bias in financial language models constitutes a major obstacle to their adoption in real-world applications. Detecting such bias is challenging, as it requires identifying inputs w…

Efficient Mutation Testing via Pre-Trained Language Models

Ahmed Khanfir, Renzo Degiovanni, Mike Papadakis +1

Mutation testing is an established fault-based testing technique. It operates by seeding faults into the programs under test and asking developers to write tests that reveal these…

CodeBERT-nt: code naturalness via CodeBERT

Ahmed Khanfir, Matthieu Jimenez, Mike Papadakis +1

Much of software-engineering research relies on the naturalness of code, the fact that code, in small code snippets, is repetitive and can be predicted using statistical language m…

Syntactic Vs. Semantic similarity of Artificial and Real Faults in Mutation Testing Studies

Milos Ojdanic, Aayush Garg, Ahmed Khanfir +3

Fault seeding is typically used in controlled studies to evaluate and compare test techniques. Central to these techniques lies the hypothesis that artificially seeded faults invol…

IBIR: Bug Report driven Fault Injection

Ahmed Khanfir, Anil Koyuncu, Mike Papadakis +4

Much research on software engineering and software testing relies on experimental studies based on fault injection. Fault injection, however, is not often relevant to emulate real-…
