Disrupting Test Development with AI Assistants

Joshi, Vijay, Band, Iver

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Recent advancements in large language models, including GPT-4 and its variants, and Generative AI-assisted coding tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Tabnine, have significantly transformed software development. This paper analyzes how these innovations impact productivity and software test development metrics. These tools enable developers to generate complete software programs with minimal human intervention before deployment. However, thorough review and testing by developers are still crucial. Utilizing the Test Pyramid concept, which categorizes tests into unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, we evaluate three popular AI coding assistants by generating and comparing unit tests for opensource modules. Our findings show that AI-generated tests are of equivalent quality to original tests, highlighting differences in usage and results among the tools. This research enhances the understanding and capabilities of AI-assistant tools in automated testing.


6 AI Tools for Programmers - stackcodify

#artificialintelligence

AI won't take your job, but the developers who use AI will. Artificial Intelligence is changing the software landscape with tools that have been a great relief to developers, in that it reduces the burden to build from scratch and increases productivity. ChatGPT, a recent AI tool by OpenAI has been the most talked about assistive tool not just in the tech space, but almost in every facet of life. It was adopted by writers, teachers, data scientists and almost all professionals in every field you can think of. The AI tools preceding ChatGPT didn't get as much popularity and adoption as this, but it has been a great standout tool no doubt. AI tools have a large resource of data that makes them pull out our requests in seconds.


5 AI Tools Every Software Developer Should Be Using in 2023

#artificialintelligence

Use these AI tools to become a 10x developer. AI is slowly creeping into our lives. It is important for software developers to make use of AI to design and develop software quickly. Numerous AI tools can assist software developers in their day-to-day work. Here are my top 5 recommendations.


The day I chose Lua over Javascript

#artificialintelligence

I've been working at Tabnine for the past two years. Tabnine is an awesome AI code generation that works directly in your IDE, providing inline, whole-line, full-function code completions. While Tabnine works with several IDEs, it didn't support full-function completions in Vim (Neovim, to be precise), which is my IDE of choice. I was somewhat uncomfortable working on a product that I couldn't experience on a daily basis -- so I decided to make full-function completions available in Vim. Having worked on our VS Code & Intellij plugins, I knew that first I needed to make sure that virtual lines API exists in Neovim.


The Top 10 Algorithms Supporting Super Intelligent AI Development

#artificialintelligence

Even though super intelligent artificial intelligence isn't here yet completely, these top 10 algorithms are working relentlessly to achieve it. AI algorithms with superintelligence, which solve problems better than humans, will have a profound impact on humanity and technology. When it comes to highly probabilistic, wicked problems, even the best experts have difficulty making predictions. And yet we face them every day. There is an immense shift taking place in complex systems that impact the environment, public health, geopolitics, and supply chains that serve basic needs. Several algorithms are currently being developed to aid in the development of super intelligent AI, even though its actual concept is yet to materialize.


Top 10 Algorithms Helping the Superintelligent AI Growth in 2022

#artificialintelligence

Superintelligence, roughly defined as an AI algorithm that can solve all problems better than people, will be a watershed for humanity and tech. Even the best human experts have trouble making predictions about highly probabilistic, wicked problems. And yet those wicked problems surround us. We are all living through an immense change in complex systems that impact the climate, public health, geopolitics, and basic needs served by the supply chain. Even though the actual concept of superintelligent AI is yet to be materialized, several algorithms are working to help in its growth. Here are such top 10 algorithms that are building a future for the growth of superintelligent AI.


GitHub Copilot and the Rise of AI Language Models in Programming Automation

#artificialintelligence

If you are a software engineer, or count any of them among your circle of acquaintances, then you're probably already aware at some level of Copilot. Copilot is GitHub's new deep learning code completion tool. Autocomplete tools for programmers are nothing new, and Copilot is not even the first to make use of deep learning nor even the first to use a GPT transformer. After all, TabNine sprung out of a summer project by OpenAI alum Jacob Jackson and makes use of the GPT-2 general purpose transformer. Microsoft (which owns GitHub) has packaged their own IntelliSense code completion tool with programming products since at least 1996, and autocomplete and text correction has been an active area of research since the 1950s.

AI is transforming the coding of computer programs

#artificialintelligence

GPT-3 IS QUITE a beast. The Generative Pre-Trained Transformer 3, to give its full name, is a language model developed by OpenAI, a part-commercial, part not-for-profit artificial-intelligence (AI) laboratory in San Francisco. GPT-3 was trained on an unprecedented mass of text to teach it the probability that a given word will follow preceding words. When fed a short text "prompt", it cranks out astonishingly coherent prose written in a similar style. Your browser does not support the audio element.
