测试代码文档对大型语言模型代码理解的影响

摘要

近年来,大型语言模型(LLMs)在代码生成和理解方面表现出了令人印象深刻的能力。然而,很少有研究调查文档和其他代码属性如何影响LLM理解和生成代码或文档的能力。我们对代码或文档的底层属性如何影响LLM的能力进行了实证分析。我们发现,为LLM提供“不正确”的文档会极大地阻碍代码理解,而不完整或缺失的文档似乎不会显著影响LLM理解代码的能力。

2 相关工作

3 LLM代码理解

4 实验设置

5 结果

6 结论

在本文中,我们介绍了代码文档对LLM代码理解的影响,并在我们的初步实验中表明,文档的相对流行对LLM的理解几乎没有显著影响,正如我们所定义的那样。这有点复杂,因为我们发现成功的单元测试数量没有显著差异,但这些单元测试的代码覆盖率确实有显著差异。即使将带注释的代码与没有注释的代码进行比较,并且所有变量名都更改为随机字符,我们也发现LLM生成成功单元测试的能力几乎没有显著差异。因此,尽管有注释的代码比没有注释的代码被单元测试覆盖的更多,但这并不能提高整体单元测试的成功率。这表明LLM更善于理解代码的不同执行路径,但这可能会使创建成功的单元测试变得更加困难。或者,我们确实表明,不正确的注释确实会显著影响LLM理解代码的能力。<

Code inspection, also known as code review, is the process of reviewing source code to identify potential errors, bugs, security vulnerabilities, or other issues. Here are the steps involved in a typical code inspection: 1. Planning: The first step is to plan the code inspection. This involves identifying the objectives of the inspection, selecting the reviewers, and scheduling a time for the inspection. 2. Preparation: The next step is to prepare for the inspection. This involves sending the source code to the reviewers ahead of time, along with any documentation or specifications that may be needed. 3. Review: During the review, the reviewers examine the code line by line, looking for errors, bugs, security vulnerabilities, or other issues. They may use tools such as debuggers, syntax checkers, and code analysis software to help them identify problems. 4. Discussion: After the review is complete, the reviewers discuss their findings with the developer or development team. They may ask questions, seek clarification, or suggest ways to improve the code. 5. Correction: Once the issues have been identified and discussed, the developer makes the necessary corrections to the code. This may involve fixing bugs, optimizing performance, or improving security. 6. Verification: After the corrections have been made, the code is re-inspected to ensure that all issues have been resolved. 7. Documentation: Finally, the results of the inspection are documented for future reference. This may include a summary of the issues found and corrected, as well as any recommendations for improving the development process. Overall, code inspection is a critical component of software development that helps to ensure that code is high-quality, secure, and free from errors and bugs.
