IBM Generative AI for Test Case Generation - Master Thesis Opportunity in Frankfurt, Germany

Introduction

The IBM Technology Lifecycle Services (TLS) department "The ITCenter" is responsible for a global service called ECuRep (Enhanced Customer Data Repository). Currently we are transitioning this service to cloud readiness and AI (Artificial Intelligence) integration. Your opportunity is to support this transition with an AI project.

Your Objective: Develop and evaluate strategies to automatically generate test cases with high coverage for large codebases primarily written in Java and Perl using generative AI techniques.

Your Role and Responsibilities 1. Literature review: Conduct a comprehensive literature review on existing methods for automatic test case generation, machine learning, and generative AI. Identify state-of-the-art techniques and potential gaps in the current research. 2. Data collection: Gather a representative dataset of Java and Perl codebases to serve as a basis for developing and evaluating the proposed strategies. 3. Model selection: Experiment with various generative AI models, such as Transformers or Variational Autoencoders, and select the most suitable ones based on performance and feasibility. Develop prompting strategies. 4. Evaluation: Evaluate the generated test cases' quality and coverage using metrics such as fault detection rate, mutation score, and branch coverage. Compare the results with those obtained from traditional manual testing methods. 5. Strategy formulation: Based on the evaluation results, formulate strategies for efficiently generating test cases with high coverage for large codebases. Provide recommendations for integrating the proposed strategies into existing continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. 6. Presentation and dissemination: Present your findings in a final report and defend your thesis in front of a committee. Disseminate your results through academic publications, conference presentations, and workshops., Location StatementIBM wants you to bring your whole self to work and for you this might mean the ability to work flexibly. If you are interested in a flexible working pattern, please talk to our recruitment team to find out if this is possible in the current working environment.
