Proj CMI Paper Reading: A Correlation Study between Automated Program Repair and Test-Suite Metrics

Abstract

本文：
前提Task：to control the quality of generated pathed by controlling the quality of test-suites used 通过控制⽤于⾃动程序修复的测试套件的质量来控制⽣成的补丁的质量
Task：探究：Can traditional test-suite metrics proposed for the purpose of software testing also be used for the purpose of automated program repair?“为软件测试⽽提出的传统测试套件指标是否也可⽤于⾃动化程序修复？”
方法：研究了语句/分⽀覆盖率和突变分数等传统测试套件指标是否能有效控制⽣成修复的可靠性
结果：总的来说，随着传统测试套件指标的增加，维修的可靠性往往会增加。特别是，这种趋势在报表覆盖率中最为明显
