Agent4RE: A Self-Refining Multi-agent Framework for End-to-End Software Requirements Engineering and Benchmarking

Agent4RE is a self‑refining multi‑agent framework designed for end‑to‑end software requirements engineering (RE). It coordinates specialized agents and includes two iterative improvement loops, and introduces a new real‑world dataset, RE‑E2E, for evaluating RE workflows from elicitation to generation. The framework, along with two enhanced variants that use autonomous self‑refinement or structured human feedback, consistently outperforms baseline prompting methods across eight large language models, achieving higher text‑based metrics and superior human and LLM‑as‑a‑judge ratings.

WiseSpec: Requirements-Driven Agents for Code Generation

WiseSpec is a requirements‑driven agent framework designed to improve repository‑level code generation. It automatically builds structured, information‑rich requirements, evaluates their quality via execution‑based tests, and iteratively refines them to better guide code generation. Experiments show WiseSpec outperforms all baselines, achieving an average 13.17% improvement in %Resolved.

An Empirical Study of Automating Agent Evaluation

The paper presents EvalAgent, an AI assistant that automates agent evaluation by encoding domain expertise into evaluation skills such as procedural instructions, reusable code, and dynamic API retrieval. EvalAgent constructs a trace-based pipeline that outputs metrics, executable code, and reports, and is evaluated using a new meta-evaluation framework and AgentEvalBench. Results show that EvalAgent improves the Eval@1 metric from 17.5% to 65% and receives 79.5% human expert preference, while ablation studies confirm the importance of evaluation skills.

Agent Seer: Synthesizing Scenarios from Specification Understanding

Agent Seer is a pipeline that automatically synthesizes realistic evaluation scenarios for AI agents that use external tools, using only the tool’s specification (function names, natural‑language descriptions, and typed parameter schemas). Starting from a single Model Context Protocol (MCP) specification, it enriches raw schemas, generates graded scenarios with synthetic tool outputs, and expands them into mock‑data‑grounded multi‑turn dialogues that demonstrate strong tool‑calling correctness and conversational coherence. Across seven diverse MCP specifications, the pipeline achieves high quality, with parameter‑schema complexity emerging as the main driver of quality variation and argument‑value accuracy identified as the dominant failure mode.

StartupBench: Benchmarking General-Purpose Agents on Market-Validated End-to-End Workflows

StartupBench is a new benchmark that evaluates general-purpose agents on end-to-end workflows derived from AI startup products that have proven market adoption. It translates real-world product workflows into deliverable-oriented tasks and assesses them with detailed rubrics. The study finds that even the best models complete only about 30% of these tasks, highlighting challenges such as complex instruction following and domain expertise.

AgentX: Towards Agent-Driven Self-Iteration of Industrial Recommender Systems

arXiv:2606. 26859v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recommendation algorithm iteration is moving from an artisanal, engineer-bound process toward an industrialized research loop, but this transition remains blocked by a structural execution bottleneck: the idea-to-launch cycle still depends on human engineers to generate hypotheses, modify production code, launch A/B experiments, and attribute online results.

The Hard Part Comes After Search: Benchmarking Web Agents on Synthesizing, Organizing, and Displaying Knowledge

The paper introduces KNOWS, a benchmark for evaluating web agents that act as assistants by retrieving, synthesizing, and presenting information across complex, multi-step browser tasks. It outlines a task design rubric, evaluation protocol combining deterministic checks with LLM judgments, and reports that current agents achieve only modest success, with the best performing agent succeeding on less than 3% of tasks. The study highlights significant gaps in agents’ tool use, visual understanding, and long‑horizon reasoning.
