Specialization of Run-time Configuration Space at Compile-time: An Exploratory Study
Xhevahire Tërnava, Mathieu Acher, Benoit Combemale
Numerous software systems are highly configurable through run-time options, such as command-line parameters. Users can tune some of the options to meet various functional and non-f…
Piloting Copilot, Codex, and StarCoder2: Hot Temperature, Cold Prompts, or Black Magic?
Jean-Baptiste Döderlein, Nguessan Hermann Kouadio, Mathieu Acher +2
Language models are promising solutions for tackling increasing complex problems. In software engineering, they recently gained attention in code assistants, which generate program…
The Interaction between Inputs and Configurations fed to Software Systems: an Empirical Study
Luc Lesoil, Mathieu Acher, Arnaud Blouin +1
Widely used software systems such as video encoders are by necessity highly configurable, with hundreds or even thousands of options to choose from. Their users often have a hard t…
Towards Quality Assurance of Software Product Lines with Adversarial Configurations
Paul Temple, Mathieu Acher, Gilles Perrouin +3
Software product line (SPL) engineers put a lot of effort to ensure that, through the setting of a large number of possible configuration options, products are acceptable and well-…
Learning Software Configuration Spaces: A Systematic Literature Review
Juliana Alves Pereira, Hugo Martin, Mathieu Acher +3
Most modern software systems (operating systems like Linux or Android, Web browsers like Firefox or Chrome, video encoders like ffmpeg, x264 or VLC, mobile and cloud applications,…
Test them all, is it worth it? Assessing configuration sampling on the JHipster Web development stack
Axel Halin, Alexandre Nuttinck, Mathieu Acher +3
Many approaches for testing configurable software systems start from the same assumption: it is impossible to test all configurations. This motivated the definition of variability-…
Synthesis of Attributed Feature Models From Product Descriptions: Foundations
Guillaume Bécan, Razieh Behjati, Arnaud Gotlieb +1
Feature modeling is a widely used formalism to characterize a set of products (also called configurations). As a manual elaboration is a long and arduous task, numerous techniques…
