Metamodel-Based Language-Agnostic Approach to Unit Test Generation From Execution Traces — PhD Defense Presentation

Key Points

The main goal is to develop a language-agnostic method for generating unit tests automatically using execution traces.
Implemented the approach in a tool called Modest.
Evaluated the approach on Java and Pharo programming environments.
Focused on the automation of unit test generation.
Demonstrated the feasibility of generating unit tests from execution traces.
Provided evaluations indicating performance across different programming languages.

Abstract

PhD defense presentation by Gabriel Darbord. Title (French):Approche indépendante du langage fondée sur des métamodèles pour la génération de tests unitaires à partir de traces d'exécution The work presents a model-driven approach to automatically generating unit tests from execution traces, implemented in the Modest tool and evaluated on Java and Pharo systems. Presented on 5 December 2025 at Université de Lille and Inria.
