A Catalog of Transformations to Remove Smells From Natural Language TestsTest smells can pose difficulties during testing activities, such as poor maintainability, non-deterministic behavior, and incomplete verification. Existing research has extensively addressed test smells in automated software tests but little attention has been given to smells in natural language tests. While some research has identified and catalogued such smells, there is a lack of systematic approaches for their removal. Consequently, there is also a lack of tools to automatically identify a…
