Guides That Cause Actions: An Offline Study of Guide-Action Mutual Reinforcement in Multimodal Web Agents

Web agents are usually evaluated in live environments, where environment state and judge models drift between runs, so the same checkpoint rarely reproduces the same score, making controlled studies of training phenomena impractical. We present WebMRE, an offline benchmark of 541 tasks and 5,293 steps derived from succ...

Test-Driven Approaches to Software Engineering with Large Language Models: A Survey of Phases, Tasks, and Agent Skills

A structured scoping survey organized around the question of what decision a test changes is presented, and distinguishes the Red--Green--Refactor cycle from test-conditioned generation, execution-guided refinement, test-mediated analysis, and evaluation-only testing.

Correct Tests Are Not Enough: Measuring and Training Oracle Conversion in Specification-Based Test Generation

Generating tests from a natural-language specification requires both an input that exposes faulty behavior and a correct expected output. These requirements need not improve together: a model can increase test correctness by choosing easier inputs, or discover useful inputs whose expected outputs it cannot predict. We...

Do Code Language Models Follow Tests? Paired Interventions on Program Behavior

This work studies test utilization through matched prompting controls, paired semantic interventions, and test suites selected by fault detection to make test-specified rule changes measurable alongside implementation capability and benchmark correctness.

How Output Format Confounds Data Quality and Capability in Instruction Tuning

Instruction-tuning data are judged by quality metrics, and tuned models are judged by benchmarks, but both judgments pass through an output interface: the surface format in which an answer is written. Using gradient signatures across 12 tasks, four semantically equivalent interfaces, three model families, and controlle...

Joint Training Is Not Enough: Conditioned Cross-Granularity Training for Multimodal Document Understanding

The Mutual Reinforcement Effect is tested in multimodal document understanding on three corpora, two of receipts and one of scanned business forms, comparing single-task, joint and conditioned training, which puts one granularity's gold output in the other's prompt during training only.

A Learning-Rate-Gated Failure of GRPO in a Small Language and Vision-Language Model Web Agent: A Controlled Null and Its Mechanism

This work asks whether it adds skill to a small language and vision-language model web agent at the 4B to 8B scale, or whether it mostly reshapes behavior the supervised model already has, and explains the failure of GRPO.

Do Code Language Models Use Tests? A Behavioral and Representational Study of Test-Driven Code Generation

Public tests are widely used to guide large language model code generation, but whether models treat them as executable specifications or merely as extra prompt context remains unclear. We study test-driven code generation on HumanEval+, MBPP+, and recent LiveCodeBench tasks using Qwen2.5-Coder-7B and Qwen3.6-27B. We c...

MAG: A Web-Agent Benchmark and Harness for Multimodal Action and Guide Generation

MAG is introduced, the first benchmark that unifies task execution and guide writing into a single Multimodal Action and Guide task, with two grounding schemes over screenshots: Set-of-Mark element selection and raw pixel coordinates.
