An empirical study of LoRA-based fine-tuning of large language models for automated test case generation

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.06946v1 Announce Type: cross Automated test case generation from natural language requirements remains a challenging problem in software engineering due to the ambiguity of requirements and the need to produce structured, executable test artifacts. Recent advances in LLMs have shown promise in addressing this task; however, their effectiveness depends on task-specific adaptation and efficient fine-tuning strategies. In this paper, we present a comprehensive empirical study on the use of parameter-efficient fine-tuning, specifically LoRA, for requirement-based test case generation.
