Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Carefully parsing the question, we are asked to identify what the competent programmer hypothesis is another name for. The provided correct answer field indicates the intended choice: 'Finite neighbourhood hypothesis.'
Option 1: Finite neighbourhood hypothesis. This is the term commonly used to describe the idea that small edits to a program (or finite, limited changes near a fault) will result in code whose behavior remains close to the original, allowing targeted testing and mutation analysis. This aligns with the concept of focusing testing and analysis on a confined region around the fault, which is the essence of the finite neighbourhood idea.
Option 2: Inductive formalization of mutation analysis. While mutation analysis is a related technique in software testing, the phrase 'inductive formalization of mutation analysis' is not the standard name for the competent programmer hypothesis. This option describes a possible theoretical framing but does not correspond to the common alias for the competent programmer hypothesis.
Option 3: Using GenAI. This option introduces a modern tooling context (generative AI) and does not relate to the historical or formal naming of the competent programmer hypothesis. The hypothesis predates and is independent of GenAI concepts, so this choice misidentifies the terminology.
Option 4: Not using GenAI. Similar to option 3, this is about whether GenAI is involved; it does not capture the established term for the hypothesis, which is specifically about the locality of faults and edits, not about tooling usage. This makes it an incorrect naming option.
In summary, the reasoning across options centers on matching the terminology to the well-known concept: the competent programmer hypothesis is connected with restricting attention to a finite neighbourhood around faults, hence 'Finite neighbourhood hypothesis' is the correct label among the listed choices.
