“…Halin et al demonstrated that uniform random sampling forms a strong baseline for faults and failure efficiency on the JHipster case [25]. We need additional cases with enumerable configuration spaces (like the BLAST model studied by Cashman et al [43]) to confirm or refute this result.…”

“…Both problems can be addressed, at least in part, by always reporting the exact method of counting: this affixes the meaning of standalone measurements, and allows the comparison of code with a loc measurement from a different paper. In our survey, only one paper [5] explains how loc was measured, and use a standard tool for this purpose.…”

“…Even if the result is code, it must be formatted to be measured in lines of code, but it already exists within the tool in a representation that can be measured more precisely, synthesis algorithm must be highly optimized to find the result. A different target program, baz (1,2,3,4,5,6) would also require 7 lines of code, but is only of height 1, and can be found very easily by even the most naive of algorithms.…”

“…Despite the many existing and upcoming applications of bioinformatics that demonstrate great potential for healthcare advancement, bioinformatics scientists themselves have yet, for the most part, to evolve along with the bioinformatics field in terms of acquiring refined skills for developing high-quality, maintainable software ( Lawlor & Sleator, 2021 ). In a review of two popular bio-sequence alignment software packages for bioinformatics, FAST and BLAST ( Aryal, 2019 ; Leimeister et al, 2014 ; Cashman et al, 2018 ) concluded that both tools would greatly benefit from improved flexibility, usability, and user-friendliness. Sanders & Kelly (2008) , Oulas et al (2019) and Lawlor & Sleator (2021) reinforced the notion that the complex bioinformatics discipline and its increasing depth and volume of applications necessitate the development of reliable and maintainable software for use and expansion by bioinformatics professionals.…”
