arXiv:2607. 25873v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM)-based Automated Program Repair systems are advancing rapidly, yet their performance remains inconsistent.
arXiv:2507. 22580v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automated Program Repair (APR) seeks to automatically correct software bugs without requiring human intervention.
The paper presents a systematic analysis of five state‑of‑the‑art automated program repair agents, tracing their decision‑making across 500 real‑world repair tasks. It finds that while the agents perform well on simple fixes, they struggle with logic‑intensive bugs, often producing verbose, overfitted patches that pass tests without addressing root causes. Key bottlenecks identified include poor test generation, limited regression test selection, and reliance on primitive tooling without access to debuggers or advanced program analysis tools.

arXiv:2505. 07372v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper presents a novel methodology for enhancing Automated Program Repair (APR) through synthetic data generation utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs).
The paper introduces MCR-Bench, a benchmark for realistic multi‑round code review that includes 2,269 real‑world tasks across five programming languages, each annotated with fine‑grained defect information and dynamic state labels. Experiments with mainstream large language models show limited overall performance, especially as interaction rounds increase, and reveal that model accuracy varies by defect type and severity. Error analysis identifies key failure mechanisms such as cross‑round temporal misalignment and insufficient long‑range memory.
