Project #135: Automatic Testing of StackOverflow.com Code Snippets

Back

Description:

Online developer forums such as StackOverflow.com (SO) have transformed how code is written by fostering a culture of searching and reusing code snippets. While various techniques have emerged to facilitate the reuse and analysis of SO code snippets, the automatic testing of these snippets remains an unexplored challenge. This research project seeks to address this gap by designing, implementing, and evaluating a novel automated technique specifically tailored for testing SO code snippets. The objective is to understand the reliability and quality of code snippets sourced from SO, contributing to the overall improvement of software development practices.
