Behavior-driven development (BDD) is an Agile testing methodology fostering collaboration among developers, QA analysts, and stakeholders. In this manuscript, we propose a novel approach to enhance BDD practices using large language models (LLMs) to automate acceptance test generation. Our study uses zero and few-shot prompts to evaluate LLMs such as GPT-3.5, GPT-4, Llama-2-13B, and PaLM-2. The paper presents a detailed methodology that includes the dataset, prompt techniques, LLMs, and the evaluation process. The results demonstrate that GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 generate error-free BDD acceptance tests with better performance. The few-shot prompt technique highlights its ability to provide higher accuracy by incorporating examples for in-context learning. Furthermore, the study examines syntax errors, validation accuracy, and comparative analysis of LLMs, revealing their effectiveness in enhancing BDD practices. However, our study acknowledges that there are limitations to the proposed approach. We emphasize that this approach can support collaborative BDD processes and create opportunities for future research into automated BDD acceptance test generation using LLMs.


Using Machine Learning to Name Malware - Juniper SecIntel

The current situation with malware naming conventions is in disarray. Different antivirus vendors use different naming conventions and sometimes they don't follow their own standards. Let's look at a few results for a random virus. These are the results from VirusTotal, a meta-antivirus scanning service. We can see that it is a Trojan malware with some vendors (Dr.Web and TrendMicro) setting the family as StartPage, some saying it's in the Agent family, some saying it is in the FakeAV family and some saying it is Generic "KR" malware.
