Paper accepted at ICST 2017

We are happy to announce that our paper Are there any Unit Tests? An Empirical Study on Unit Testing in Open Source Python Projects  was accepted at the 10th International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation (ICST 2017). The paper presents an empirical study on open source python projects to determine to what extent developers use unit tests in their development, and in what ways. The conclusions from the study are that while developers think they are developing a lot of unit tests, they are not actually doing so, and in fact, most projects have very few unit tests. Furthermore it shows, that mocking does not have much of an influence on the number of unit tests.
