2012 Restructuring unit tests with TestSurgeon
abstract
The software engineering community has produced great techniques for software maintainability, however, less effort is dedicated to have unit tests modular and extensible. TestSurgeon is a profiler for unit tests which collects information from tests execution. It proposes a metric for similarity between tests and provides a visualization to help developers restructure their unit tests.
