Abstract
A test-driven development system utilizes a neural transformer model with attention to generate method bodies for a focal method given its associated test cases, and optionally a method signature and a docstring of the focal method. The candidate method bodies are validated for syntactic correctness, tested using the given test cases, and tested with a donor class in a target system. Those candidate method bodies passing the validation and testing are then ranked based on a PLUM score that analyzes the candidate method bodies against various quality and performance metrics.
