TL;DR

A large-scale empirical study analyzing performance evolution in 15 mature open-source Java projects hosted on GitHub, showing that different project domains and scales exhibit distinct performance characteristics, which suggest the need for domain-specific performance management strategies that account for the project scales.

Benchmarking the Titans: A Multi-Dimensional Empirical Evaluation of LLM Code Generation Quality in the .NET Ecosystem

An automated, multi-dimensional evaluation framework for C# code generation, applying it to four state-of-the-art LLMs: GPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok is presented and a substantial gap between correctness and quality attributes is revealed.

From Static to Dynamic: Benchmarking Real-World Code Review with MCR-Bench

MCR-Bench is introduced, the first defect state-aware benchmark designed for realistic multi-round code review, and in-depth error analysis dissects the distinct drivers of false positives and false negatives, revealing critical weaknesses such as cross-round temporal misalignment and inadequate long-range memory.

Metrics Failure in LLM-Based Code Vulnerability Repair: An Empirical Study and a Change-Aware Screen

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to the automated repair of C/C++ security vulnerabilities, and compile rate is a commonly reported proxy for progress: whether the generated patch compiles. We argue that compile rate is a scientifically unreliable metric for single-function vulnerability repair, an...

How effective are traditional test criteria at detecting bugs in large language models generated code?

An empirical study involving 5 Large Language Models and 4 benchmarks evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of 3 widely used adequacy criteria: statement coverage, branch coverage, and mutation testing, finding that mutation testing only marginally outperforms traditional coverage criteria in both triggering and d...

Detection: Prompt Engineering vs Fine Tuning

This research investigates Large Language Models (LLMs), which are considered among the most performant AI models to date, for the CVD task, and high-light the importance of tuning to resolve the task, the performance of Double tuning, as well as the potential of Llama models for CVD.

Improving Bug Detection in LLM-Generated Unit Tests: Revisiting Test-Oracle Reliability Across Modern Large Language Models

This paper presents a formal mathematical model for categorizing the outcome of generated-tests into four classes, a couple of basic metrics: Bug-Revealing Rate (BRR) and Bug-Validating Rate (BVR); and two basic statistical tests to ensure that the results are rigorous.
