Generating Unit Tests for Documentation

Software projects capture redundant information in various kinds of artifacts, as specifications from the source code are also tested and documented. Such redundancy provides an opportunity to reduce development effort by supporting joint generation different types artifacts. We introduce a tool-supported technique, called DScribe, that allows developers combine unit test documentation templates, invoke these templates generate tests. DScribe supports detection replacement outdated documentation, use can encourage extensive suites with consistent style. Our evaluation 835 revealed 85 percent were not or correctly documented, could be used automatically 97 tests documentation. An additional study generated more focused readable than those written human testers state-of-the-art automated techniques.
