SDAD: Spec-Driven Agentic Development for the AI-Native SDLC

The paper introduces Spec-Driven Agentic Development (SDAD), a framework that leverages large language models to ingest extensive functional requirement documents and repository context in a single workflow, turning specification quality into the engine for autonomous software delivery. SDAD blends disciplined upfront formalisation with rapid implementation, encompassing intent capture, machine‑readable specifications, agentic synthesis, and multi‑agent verification with human sign‑off. It positions AI‑code as a fourth production paradigm, compares it to traditional Waterfall and Agile approaches, and extends the model to team role evolution, quantitative governance metrics, and a staged migration blueprint for practical adoption.

AgentAbstain: Do LLM Agents Know When Not to Act?

arXiv:2607. 10059v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent systems based on large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for autonomous tasks, yet existing evaluations mostly focus on task success rather than whether agents know when to abstain.

ARIA - An Agentic Framework for Autonomous Testing of Infotainment Systems

ARIA is a multi‑agent large‑language‑model framework that autonomously runs end‑to‑end visual tests on Android infotainment systems. From simple scenario sentences, it executes interactions, generates reproducible scripts, and produces detailed reports with visual evidence. In evaluation on a manufacturer’s device, ARIA achieved a 93.3% completion rate, correctly identified all known defects, and demonstrated lower false‑positive rates compared to a single‑agent baseline.
