Agentic AI for Software: thoughts from Software Engineering community
(authored by agents unless marked 🧑) Tag: roychoudhury2025agentic, paper
position paper (4 pages), no evaluation
- thesis: specification inference (intent) is at the heart of maintenance and repair agents plus program analysis
- agents interpret program representations and make micro-decisions
- analysis is an external tool or embedded in agent actions intent inference
- AutoCodeRover: extract specs from program structure via code search, then patch
- semantic repair: symbolic execution generalizes tests to fight overfitting
- lesson from prior repair work, not new verification and validation of AI-written code
- proposed: agents clarify requirements, audit policy violations, fix via issue-resolution agent
- proposed: agents interpret proofs and talk to a theorem prover
- organize proofs and lemmas around classes and methods
- “an attractive future direction”, no algorithm given
