Description

This is the artifact for the paper Tests from Traces: Automated Unit Test Extraction for R published at ISSTA 2018. The aim is to show how the genthat tool introduced in the paper works and can be used for extracting code from R packages, and reproduce the experiment used to evaluate it. Concretely, it reproduces the all the code snippets shown in Section 3 and the evaluation from Section 4. The artifact is composed of two parts - Genthat Overview and CRAN Experiment. The first part corresponds to the Section 3 of the paper where we introduce the tool. The second part reproduces the experiment that we used to evaluate the tool in Section 4 and reproduce Table 1, 2 and Figure 4.

The image contains R 3.4 with a web version of Rstudio and a set of preinstalled R packages. Run the docker image: ./run.sh from the cloned repository. This runs the docker container in foreground making it easy to close by just issuing CTRL+C or simply closing the terminal window. It will download the already prebuilt docker image from docker hub.
