User experience of mobile apps is an essential ingredient that can influence the audience volumes and app revenue. To ensure good user experience and assist app development, several prior studies resort to analysis of app reviews, a type of app repository that directly reflects user opinions about the apps. Accurately responding to the app reviews is one of the ways to relieve user concerns and thus improve user experience. However, the response quality of the existing method relies on the pre-extracted features from other tools, including manually-labelled keywords and predicted review sentiment, which may hinder the generalizability and flexibility of the method. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end neural network approach, named CoRe, with the contextual knowledge naturally incorporated and without involving external tools. Specifically, CoRe integrates two types of contextual knowledge in the training corpus, including official app descriptions from app store and responses of the retrieved semantically similar reviews, for enhancing the relevance and accuracy of the generated review responses. Experiments on practical review data show that CoRe can outperform the state-of-the-art method by 11.53% in terms of BLEU-4, an accuracy metric that is widely used to evaluate text generation systems.

Code reviews are popular in both industrial and open source projects. The benefits of code reviews are widely recognized and include better code quality and lower likelihood of introducing bugs. However, since code review is a manual activity it come
s at the cost of spending developers time on reviewing their teammates code. Our goal is to make the first step towards partially automating the code review process, thus, possibly reducing the manual costs associated with it. We focus on both the contributor and the reviewer sides of the process, by training two different Deep Learning architectures. The first one learns code changes performed by developers during real code review activities, thus providing the contributor with a revised version of her code implementing code transformations usually recommended during code review before the code is even submitted for review. The second one automatically provides the reviewer commenting on a submitted code with the revised code implementing her comments expressed in natural language. The empirical evaluation of the two models shows that, on the contributor side, the trained model succeeds in replicating the code transformations applied during code reviews in up to 16% of cases. On the reviewer side, the model can correctly implement a comment provided in natural language in up to 31% of cases. While these results are encouraging, more research is needed to make these models usable by developers.
Automatic software development has been a research hot spot in the field of software engineering (SE) in the past decade. In particular, deep learning (DL) has been applied and achieved a lot of progress in various SE tasks. Among all applications, a
utomatic code generation by machines as a general concept, including code completion and code synthesis, is a common expectation in the field of SE, which may greatly reduce the development burden of the software developers and improves the efficiency and quality of the software development process to a certain extent. Code completion is an important part of modern integrated development environments (IDEs). Code completion technology effectively helps programmers complete code class names, method names, and key-words, etc., which improves the efficiency of program development and reduces spelling errors in the coding process. Such tools use static analysis on the code and provide candidates for completion arranged in alphabetical order. Code synthesis is implemented from two aspects, one based on input-output samples and the other based on functionality description. In this study, we introduce existing techniques of these two aspects and the corresponding DL techniques, and present some possible future research directions.
As a natural language generation task, it is challenging to generate informative and coherent review text. In order to enhance the informativeness of the generated text, existing solutions typically learn to copy entities or triples from knowledge gr
aphs (KGs). However, they lack overall consideration to select and arrange the incorporated knowledge, which tends to cause text incoherence. To address the above issue, we focus on improving entity-centric coherence of the generated reviews by leveraging the semantic structure of KGs. In this paper, we propose a novel Coherence Enhanced Text Planning model (CETP) based on knowledge graphs (KGs) to improve both global and local coherence for review generation. The proposed model learns a two-level text plan for generating a document: (1) the document plan is modeled as a sequence of sentence plans in order, and (2) the sentence plan is modeled as an entity-based subgraph from KG. Local coherence can be naturally enforced by KG subgraphs through intra-sentence correlations between entities. For global coherence, we design a hierarchical self-attentive architecture with both subgraph- and node-level attention to enhance the correlations between subgraphs. To our knowledge, we are the first to utilize a KG-based text planning model to enhance text coherence for review generation. Extensive experiments on three datasets confirm the effectiveness of our model on improving the content coherence of generated texts.
In-app advertising closely relates to app revenue. Reckless ad integration could adversely impact app reliability and user experience, leading to loss of income. It is very challenging to balance the ad revenue and user experience for app developers.
In this paper, we present a large-scale analysis on ad-related user feedback. The large user feedback data from App Store and Google Play allow us to summarize ad-related app issues comprehensively and thus provide practical ad integration strategies for developers. We first define common ad issues by manually labeling a statistically representative sample of ad-related feedback, and then build an automatic classifier to categorize ad-related feedback. We study the relations between different ad issues and user ratings to identify the ad issues poorly scored by users. We also explore the fix durations of ad issues across platforms for extracting insights into prioritizing ad issues for ad maintenance. We summarize 15 types of ad issues by manually annotating 903/36,309 ad-related user reviews. From a statistical analysis of 36,309 ad-related reviews, we find that users care most about the number of unique ads and ad display frequency during usage. Besides, users tend to give relatively lower ratings when they report the security and notification related issues. Regarding different platforms, we observe that the distributions of ad issues are significantly different between App Store and Google Play. Moreover, some ad issue types are addressed more quickly by developers than other ad issues. We believe the findings we discovered can benefit app developers towards balancing ad revenue and user experience while ensuring app reliability.
Testing is the most direct and effective technique to ensure software quality. However, it is a burden for developers to understand the poorly-commented tests, which are common in industry environment projects. Mobile applications (app) are GUI-inten
sive and event-driven, so test scripts focusing on GUI interactions play a more important role in mobile app testing besides the test cases for the source code. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the user interactions and the corresponding user event responses. However, test scripts are loosely linked to apps under test (AUT) based on widget selectors, making it hard to map the operations to the functionality code of AUT. In such a situation, code understanding algorithms may lose efficacy if directly applied to mobile app test scripts. We present a novel approach, TestIntent, to infer the intent of mobile app test scripts. TestIntent combines the GUI image understanding and code understanding technologies. The test script is transferred into an operation sequence model. For each operation, TestIntent extracts the operated widget selector and link the selector to the UI layout structure, which stores the detailed information of the widgets, including coordinates, type, etc. With code understanding technologies, TestIntent can locate response methods in the source code. Afterwards, NLP algorithms are adopted to understand the code and generate descriptions. Also, TestIntent can locate widgets on the app GUI images. Then, TestIntent can understand the widget intent with an encoder-decoder model. With the combination of the results from GUI and code understanding, TestIntent generates the test intents in natural language format. We also conduct an empirical experiment, and the results prove the outstanding performance of TestIntent. A user study also declares that TestIntent can save developers time to understand test scripts.
