ICSE 2024
Fri 12 - Sun 21 April 2024 Lisbon, Portugal

In today’s society, we are becoming increasingly dependent on software systems. However, we also constantly witness the negative impacts of buggy software. Program synthesis aims to improve software correctness by automatically generating the program given an outline of the expected behavior. For decades, program synthesis has been an active research field, with recent approaches looking to incorporate Large Language Models to help generate code. This paper explores the concept of LLM4TDD, where we guide Large Language Models to generate code iteratively using a test-driven development methodology. Specifically, our framework has the user write test code, but uses Large Language Models to generate the actual implementation. We conduct an empirical evaluation using ChatGPT and coding problems from LeetCode to investigate the impact of different test, prompt and problem attributes on the efficacy of LLM4TDD.
