The Driver Was Never the Problem: Cross-Platform Test Portability as a Semantic Contract

Under this model, generative components ground test intent at authoring time into reviewable artifacts, rather than re-evaluating locators during every test run, and semantic agreement is achievable but not automatic: nine of twenty guarantee-surface pairs resolve.

Closed-World Trustworthy Copilots for Legal and Regulatory Text

Applying large language models (LLMs) to regulated domains such as financial and legal compliance is fundamentally a software engineering problem: an answer produced from a model’s parameters is, at the surface, indistinguishable from one grounded in the authoritative source, yet only the latter can be audited. Prior s...

Agentic Software Porting: Lessons from the CHERI-PIT

Eight lessons from six months of developing CHERI-PIT, an LLM-agent pipeline that ports C/C++ projects to the memory-safe pure-capability (purecap) ABI of CHERI hardware on Arm Morello, trace a path toward a porting tool that emits reproducible and auditable port recipes.

Passing Parity Is Not Preserving Behaviour: Oracle Escape in Function-Level LLM Code Migration

Parity testing validates software modernization: the legacy system supplies every expected output, so the oracle is sound. One decision is delegated, increasingly to a language model and often the very model that translated the code: which inputs to try. How much divergence such suites let through is unmeasured, and wh...

Toward Defensible System Behavior for AI-Generated Software Artifacts

This vision paper argues that trustworthy AI-assisted software engineering requires behavioural accountability: making implicit assumptions explicit, surfacing behavioural violations, and producing auditable evidence for developers and CI pipelines.

Software Engineering Governance: Foundations for Trustworthy Automated Software Engineering

Viewing trustworthy automation through this governance perspective reveals two complementary governance responsibilities: Before automated execution, trustworthiness objectives must be systematically operationalised into lifecycle artefacts that guide or constrain engineering behaviour and after execution, operational...

AI Meets Program Analysis: Lessons from a Decade of Enterprise Software Modernization at IBM

This paper argues that AI and program analysis are not competing technologies but complementary capabilities, and envision enterprise software engineering as a collaboration in which program analysis provides evidence, AI provides intelligence, and human engineers contribute the judgment and wisdom required to build tr...

GRAML: Graph-Grounded Reasoning and Multi-Task Learning for LLM-Based Software Vulnerability Detection

GRAML, a framework that combines graph evidence, vulnerability description generation, and multi-task training, is proposed, and practical guidance for building more reliable and secure software engineering systems with large language models is provided.

Large-scale Repository Engineering via Agent-Native Reusable Code Primitives

Large language models equipped with development environments have moved code generation toward repository-scale construction, yet building complete repositories remains difficult because interacting modules, interfaces, configurations, tests, and dependencies must work together. We introduce Code Primitives, agent-nati...

LLM-Assisted Generation of Transparent, Open-Source Multiphysics Models of Electrochemical Devices

Multiphysics continuum models are powerful tools for studying electrochemical devices, enabling in silico reactor design and resolution of local pH, potential, and concentration fields that govern device performance but are difficult to measure experimentally. However, constructing such models requires substantial nume...

Coding-Agent Benchmarks Should Match Their Users'Task Flows

The evaluation of coding agents generally strives to be as realistic as possible. In our study, we collect 4,782 agent sessions of real software engineers in JetBrains IDEs, which we call Production Sessions. Since our subject is interactive agents, we study the sessions with at least three user messages (33% of the sa...

Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring

StudentSim is a research system for evaluating and improving AI tutoring tools before they are tested with learners. It models how individuals may engage with tutors, giving feedback to improve tutor performance across subjects like chess, writing, and mathematics. The post Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring appeared first on Microsoft Research.
