CodeBERT for Flaky Test Categorisation (FlakeBench)
Classifies a Java/Kotlin test method into one of six categories: five kinds of flaky test plus non-flaky.
What this is
A fine-tune of microsoft/codebert-base on the FlakeBench dataset from
Understanding and Improving Flaky Test Classification
(OOPSLA 2025), trained as a reproduction exercise on a single 8 GB consumer GPU.
The uploaded weights are the "Balanced" configuration below.
Training configurations
| Parameter | Baseline | lr 2e-5 | Balanced | Augmented | Paper |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Encoder | codebert-base | codebert-base | codebert-base | codebert-base | codebert-base |
| Learning rate | 1e-5 | 2e-5 | 1e-5 | 1e-5 | 1e-5 |
| Batch size | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| Max length | 512 | 512 | 512 | 512 | 512 |
| Loss | focal γ=2.0 | focal γ=2.0 | focal γ=2.0 | focal γ=2.0 | focal γ=2.0 |
| Class weights | balanced | balanced | balanced | balanced | balanced |
| Optimizer | AdamW wd 0.01 | AdamW wd 0.01 | AdamW wd 0.01 | AdamW wd 0.01 | AdamW wd 0.01 |
| Precision | fp16 | fp16 | fp16 | fp16 | fp32 |
| Non-flaky rows | 4,972 | 4,972 | 800 | 800 | full |
| Minority handling | none | none | ×160 copies | ×200 variants | none |
| Train rows | 5,114 | 5,114 | 1,600 | 1,800 | 5,114 |
| Epochs run | 8 | 8 | 18 | 13 | 40 |
| Dynamic padding | no | no | no | no | no |
Hardware: 1× RTX 4060 Laptop (8 GB). Class rebalancing is the one deviation from the paper's method, which trains on the raw distribution (97% non-flaky).
Results (per-category F1)
| Category | Baseline | lr 2e-5 | Balanced | Augmented | Paper |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Async Wait | 76.92% | 78.26% | 74.07% | 64.52% | 58.37% |
| Concurrency | 0.00% | 0.00% | 0.00% | 0.00% | 35.92% |
| Time | 57.14% | 66.67% | 66.67% | 40.00% | 72.73% |
| Unordered Coll. | 75.00% | 83.33% | 83.33% | 72.73% | 73.63% |
| Order Dep. | 82.35% | 86.96% | 95.24% | 73.68% | 64.35% |
| Non-flaky | 100.00% | 99.92% | 99.51% | 100.00% | 100.00% |
| Macro F1 | 65.24% | 69.19% | 69.89% | 58.49% | 65.79% |
The Balanced configuration (uploaded weights) achieves the best macro-F1 of 69.89% .
Usage
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import torch
name = "Ariful1904129/codebert-flakytest-fold2"
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(name)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(name, trust_remote_code=True).eval()
code = """@Test
public void testConnect() throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(1000);
assertTrue(client.isConnected());
}"""
x = tok(code, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=512)
with torch.no_grad():
pred = model(**x).logits.argmax(-1).item()
print(model.config.id2label[pred])
Scope: Java/Kotlin test methods; inputs longer than 512 tokens are truncated.
