ML classifier automates refactoring of BDD test suites

Researchers have developed a method to automatically identify and categorize opportunities for refactoring in behavior-driven development (BDD) software test suites. Their approach uses machine learning classifiers, specifically an eXtreme Gradient Boosting model, to detect recurring step subsequences that are suitable for extraction. This classifier outperformed both a rule-based baseline and large language model judges in identifying these refactoring opportunities, offering a more efficient way to manage and improve test suite maintainability.

    Mining Subscenario Refactoring Opportunities in Behaviour-Driven Software Test Suites: ML Classifiers and LLM-Judge Baselines

    Context. Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) software test suites accumulate duplicated step subsequences. Three published refactoring patterns are available (within-file Background, within-repo reusable-scenario invocation, cross-organisational shared higher-level step), but no p…
