title = {Adopting Program Synthesis for Test Amplification},
year = {2019},
abstract = {Program synthesis is the task of enabling a computer
system to automatically write program code based on
user intent. Test amplification on the other hand is
an emerging research area, where the goal is to
generate new test cases from manually written ones.
From this perspective, test amplification is awfully
similar to program synthesis. Therefore, in this
short paper, we explore the benefits of using program
synthesis for test amplification.},
