Java 1.8\n2. Maven 3.2.5 and above\n3. Maven Surefire 2.14 and above\n4. Operating System: Linux or OSX\n\n## Integrating STARTS Plugin from Maven Central\n\nChange the pom.xml to add the configuration for the STARTS plugin:\n\n```xml\n\u003cbuild\u003e\n  \u003cplugins\u003e\n    \u003cplugin\u003e\n      \u003cgroupId\u003eedu.illinois\u003c/groupId\u003e\n      \u003cartifactId\u003estarts-maven-plugin\u003c/artifactId\u003e\n      \u003cversion\u003e1.3\u003c/version\u003e\n    \u003c/plugin\u003e\n  \u003c/plugins\u003e\n\u003c/build\u003e\n```\n\n## Building STARTS from source\n\n1. `git clone https://github.com/TestingResearchIllinois/starts`\n2. `cd starts`\n3. `mvn install`\n\n## Using the STARTS Maven Plugin\n\n### Available Options\n\n1. To see all the goals that STARTS provides, run `mvn starts:help`\n2. To see the details for any of the goals, run `mvn starts:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=\u003cgoal\u003e`;\n replace `\u003cgoal\u003e` with the goal of interest.\n\n### Major Functionality\n\n1. To see the **types** that changed since the last time STARTS was run:\n`mvn starts:diff`\n\n2. To see the **types** that may be impacted by changes since the last\ntime STARTS was run: `mvn starts:impacted`\n\n3. To see the **tests** that are affected by the most recent changes:\n`mvn starts:select`\n\n4. To perform RTS using STARTS (i.e., select tests and run the\nselected tests): `mvn starts:starts`\n\n5. To remove all artifacts that STARTS stores between versions\n(i.e. in the `.starts` directories): `mvn starts:clean`\n\n__NOTE:__ By default, commands (1) - (3) *will not* update the\nchecksums of files in the latest version, while the command in (4)\n*will* update the checksums of the files. Each command has a\n`update**Checksums` option that can be used to change the default\nbehavior. For example, to update the checksums while checking the\ndiff, run `mvn starts:diff -DupdateDiffChecksums=true`.\n\n## Papers on STARTS\n\nBelow is a list of research papers that describe some aspects of\nSTARTS:\n\n* [STARTS: STAtic Regression Test Selection](http://mir.cs.illinois.edu/legunsen/pubs/LegunsenETALSTARTSDemo.pdf)\n  ```\n  Owolabi Legunsen, August Shi, Darko Marinov\n  32nd IEEE/ACM International Conference On Automated Software Engineering, Tool Demonstrations Track\n  (ASE Demo 2017), pages 949-954, Urbana-Champaign, IL, October-November 2017\n  ```\n* [An Extensive Study of Static Regression Test Selection in Modern Software Evolution](http://mir.cs.illinois.edu/legunsen/pubs/LegunsenETAL16StaticRTSStudy.pdf)\n  ```\n  Owolabi Legunsen, Farah Hariri, August Shi, Yafeng Lu, Lingming Zhang, Darko Marinov\n  24th ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering\n  (FSE 2016), pages 583-594, Seattle, WA, November 2016\n  ```\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fengineeringsoftware%2Ffine-starts","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fengineeringsoftware%2Ffine-starts","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fengineeringsoftware%2Ffine-starts/lists"}
