Literature survey of type inference algorithms for statically typed languages

The success of dynamically typed languages such as Python has resulted in an increased interest in supporting type inference in statically typed lan- guages. Type inference refers to automatic type detection based on surrounding context and allows retaining the type safety (and other advantages) of static types, while matching the ease of use of...

Automated Test Case Generation using Unsupervised Type Inference for JavaScript

Traditional software testing is a labor-intensive and expensive manual process. To mitigate the high cost of manual test case generation, researchers have developed various techniques for automated test case generation over the last few decades. These techniques make use of static type information to determine which data types should be used in...
