The role of software testing in the software development process is widely recognized as a key activity for successful projects. This is the reason why in the last decade several automatic unit test generation tools have been proposed, focusing particularly on high code coverage. Despite the effort spent by the research community, there is still a lack of empirical investigation aimed at analyzing...
Test smells have been defined as poorly designed tests and, as reported by recent empirical studies, their presence may negatively affect comprehension and maintenance of test suites. Despite this, there are no available automated tools to support identification and repair of test smells. In this paper, we firstly investigate developers' perception of test smells in a study with 19 participants. The...
Unit testing represents a key activity in software development and maintenance. Test suites with high internal quality facilitate maintenance activities, such as code comprehension and regression testing. Several guidelines have been proposed to help developers write good test suites. Unfortunately, such rules are not always followed resulting in the presence of bad test code smells (or simply test...
