BUGSJS: a benchmark and taxonomy of JavaScript bugs

Abstract

JavaScript is a popular programming language that is also error-prone due to its asynchronous, dynamic, and loosely typed nature. In recent years, numerous techniques have been proposed for analyzing and testing JavaScript applications. However, our survey of the literature in this area revealed that the proposed techniques are often evaluated on different datasets of programs and bugs. The lack of a commonly used benchmark limits the ability to perform fair and unbiased comparisons for assessing the efficacy of new techniques. To fill this gap, we propose BUGSJS, a benchmark of 453 real, manually validated JavaScript bugs from 10 popular JavaScript server-side programs, comprising 444k lines of code (LOC) in total. Each bug is accompanied by its bug report, the test cases that expose it, as well as the patch that fixes it. We extended BUGSJS with a rich web interface for visualizing and dissecting the bugs' information, as well as a programmable API to access the faulty and fixed versions of the programs and to execute the corresponding test cases, which facilitates conducting highly reproducible empirical studies and comparisons of JavaScript analysis and testing tools. Moreover, following a rigorous procedure, we performed a classification of the bugs according to their nature. Our internal validation shows that our taxonomy is adequate for characterizing the bugs in BUGSJS. We discuss several ways in which the resulting taxonomy and the benchmark can help direct researchers interested in automated testing of JavaScript applications.

Automatically Customizing Static Analysis Tools to Coding Rules Really Followed by Developers

“…We investigate four JavaScript projects that explicitly configure ESLint. The projects are included in BugsJS [14] that selected ten server-side application projects using the GitHub stargazers count. From those projects, we select projects, including ESLint configuration files.…”

How do Developers Really Feel About Bug Fixing? Directions for Automatic Program Repair

“…Due to its simplicity, Pan's taxonomy has also been extended to other programming languages, e.g. JavaScript [41]. Moreover, the basis of the taxonomy is a set of constructs that might reasonably be considered the focus of developer testing for finding and fixing bugs; for example, checking boundary conditions on loops and if statements, range and type checks on assignments and appropriate exception handling.…”

Implementasi Rest Api Pada Aplikasi Admin Penjualan Banten

“…Pembuatan API REST API aplikasi admin penjualan banten menggunakan bahasa pemrograman Javascript dengan Node JS. Javascript lebih banyak digunakan pada pengembangan pada sisi client website, namun karena fleksibilitas yang dimiliki, Javascript dapat digunakan pada pengembangan pada sisi server (Gyimesi et al, 2021). Selain itu digunakan framewok Express JS untuk mempermudah pengembangan API dan database yang digunakan adalah MySQL.…”
