TESTUPDATER updates Java unit tests after production-code changes by collecting relevant method definitions and existing test-class fields, then using execution errors to refine generated tests. On 195 UPDATES4J examples, DeepSeek-V3 achieves 94.4% compilation and 86.7% test pass rates, versus SYNTER’s 78.5% and 66.7%. The benchmark is mostly repairs; enhancement-only results are unreported.
