Important SBFT’24 Dates:
The infrastructure concerning the Python tool competition is available on GitHub: https://github.com/ThunderKey/python-tool-competition-2024. Please refer to the GitHub repository for instructions.
To participate effectively in the Python Tool Competition, it is essential to follow a structured approach. Firstly, dedicate time to developing your Python test generators, ensuring they are robust and efficient. Once your generators are ready, test them rigorously using the provided target files to validate their functionality and effectiveness. Following successful testing, adhere to the submission instructions to submit your tool for evaluation. It’s important to note that the evaluation of submitted tools will be based on coverage and mutation score metrics, utilizing target files that are not disclosed to the participants. Therefore, the thoroughness of your test generators will play a critical role in your tool’s performance and ranking in the competition.
To submit your test generator for the competition, please send an email to all the organizers listed below:
In your email, make sure to include the following information:
This information is crucial for the evaluation and tracking of your submission. Thank you for participating in the competition, and best of luck with your submission!
We will run your tool with the competition platform using dedicated validation target files and you will receive by email the results of the code coverage and mutation score. You will need this data to write the report. To successful tool papers a template on how to write the report will be shared upon acceptance notification.
You will need to submit a report, which will be included in the workshop proceedings. The report must follow the IEEE conference format. The page limit is 2 pages including references. Please submit the PDF to the organizers by the deadline.
Finally, the winners will be announced live during the workshop in April.
The Python tool competition is organized jointly by:
