abstract = {Coding and testing are two activities that are
tightly intermingled in agile software development,
requiring developers to frequently shift between
production code and test artefacts. Unfortunately,
links between these artifacts are typically
implicitly present in the source code, forcing
developers towards time consuming code inspections.
In this work, we evaluate the potential of six
traceability resolution strategies involving test
naming and design conventions, static call graphs,
call behavior before asserts, lexical analysis and
version log mining to make the relation between
developer test cases and units under test explicit.
The results show that test conventions yield highly
accurate results, yet in their absence capturing the
destination type of calls right before assert
statements appears as a valuable alternative.
Combining these strategies allows the user to find a
balance between improved applicability and accuracy.},
