| 2025 | Feature-Driven End-to-End Test GenerationabstractEnd-to-end (E2E) testing is essential for ensuring web application quality. However, manual test creation is time-consuming, and current test generation techniques produce incoherent tests. In this paper, we present Autoe2e,a novel approach that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate the generation of semantically meaningful feature-driven E2E test cases for web applications. Autoe2eintelligently infers potential features within a web application and translates them into executable test scenarios. Furthermore, we address a critical gap in the research community by introducing E2EBENCH, a new benchmark for automatically assessing the feature coverage of E2E test suites. Our evaluation on E2EBENCH demonstrates that Autoe2eachieves an average feature coverage of 79%, outperforming the best baseline by 558 %, highlighting its effectiveness in generating high-quality, comprehensive test cases.

| 2025 | Dockerfile Flakiness: Characterization and RepairabstractDockerfile flakiness-unpredictable temporal build failures caused by external dependencies and evolving environments-undermines deployment reliability and increases debugging overhead. Unlike traditional Dockerfile issues, flakiness occurs without modifications to the Dockerfile itself, complicating its resolution. In this work, we present the first comprehensive study of Dockerfile flakiness, featuring a nine-month analysis of 8,132 Dockerized projects, revealing that around 10% exhibit flaky behavior. We propose a taxonomy categorizing common flakiness causes, including dependency errors and server connectivity issues. Existing tools fail to effectively address these challenges due to their reliance on pre-defined rules and limited generalizability. To overcome these limitations, we introduce FLAKIDOCK, a novel repair framework combining static and dynamic analysis, similarity retrieval, and an iterative feedback loop powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). Our evaluation demonstrates that FLAKIDOCK achieves a repair accuracy of 73.55%, significantly surpassing state-of-the-art tools and baselines.
