AI-Generated Code Is Not Reproducible (Yet): An Empirical Study of Execution Reliability in LLM-Based Coding Agents

· 0 citations · 29 references

TL;DR

An empirical study of whether complete software artifacts generated by LLM coding agents can be executed in a clean environment using only the code, dependency specifications, and instructions the agent provides suggests that coding-agent evaluation should treat clean-environment executability as a first-class metric alongside functional correctness.

Framework and Benchmark for Code-Driven Agentic Testing in Web Development

CAT is introduced, a paradigm in which the agent writes Playwright code to drive the browser, gathers feedback, and autonomously explores web applications to uncover bugs, revealing a clear gap between current VLM capabilities and the demands of real-world testing in AI web development.

Unreliable in Practice? A Comprehensive Study of Errors in LLM-Generated Code

It is observed that generated code often omits basic input validation or memory-safety checks, which can lead to overflows, resource exhaustion, or other reliability/security issues, and even the largest models frequently make simple mistakes.
