LLM-based Agents for Automated Bug Fixing
First page
Paper summary
analyzes seven leading LLM-based bug fixing systems on the SWE-bench Lite benchmark, finding MarsCode Agent (developed by ByteDance) achieved the highest success rate at 39.33%; reveals that for error localization line-level fault localization accuracy is more critical than file-level accuracy, and bug reproduction capabilities significantly impact fixing success; shows that 24/168 resolved issues could only be solved using reproduction techniques, though reproduction sometimes misled LLMs when issue descriptions were already clear; concludes that improvements are needed in both LLM reasoning capabilities and Agent workflow design to enhance automated bug fixing effectiveness.
