DiffuTester: Accelerating Unit Test Generation for Diffusion LLMs via Mining Structural Pattern

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2509.24975v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) enable parallel generation and are promising for unit test generation (UTG), where efficient and large-scale automated testing is essential in software development. Despite this advantage, their application to UTG is still constrained by a clear trade-off between efficiency and test quality, since increasing the number of tokens generated in each step often causes a sharp decline in the quality of test cases. To overcome this limitation, we present DiffuTester, an acceleration framework specifically tailored for dLLMs in UTG. The motivation of DiffuTester is that unit tests targeting the same focal method often share structural patterns. DiffuTester employs a novel structural pattern based dec
