How Well Do LLMs Generate Taxonomies in the SE Domain? A Multi-perspective Evaluation Framework
Sota Nakashima, Yuta Ishimoto, Masanari Kondo +2
Taxonomies provide a shared conceptual framework for organizing heterogeneous observations in software engineering (SE) research. Manually constructing such taxonomies is labor-int…
Toward Linking Declined Proposals and Source Code: An Exploratory Study on the Go Repository
Sota Nakashima, Masanari Kondo, Mahmoud Alfadel +4
Traceability links are key information sources for software developers, connecting software artifacts. Such links play an important role, particularly between contribution artifact…
Why Agentic-PRs Get Rejected: A Comparative Study of Coding Agents
Sota Nakashima, Yuta Ishimoto, Masanari Kondo +2
Agentic coding -- software development workflows in which autonomous coding agents plan, implement, and submit code changes with minimal human involvement -- is rapidly gaining tra…
More Code, Less Reuse: Investigating Code Quality and Reviewer Sentiment towards AI-generated Pull Requests
Haoming Huang, Pongchai Jaisri, Shota Shimizu +3
Large Language Model (LLM) Agents are advancing quickly, with the increasing leveraging of LLM Agents to assist in development tasks such as code generation. While LLM Agents accel…
How Far Have LLMs Come Toward Automated SATD Taxonomy Construction?
Sota Nakashima, Yuta Ishimoto, Masanari Kondo +2
Technical debt refers to suboptimal code that degrades software quality. When developers intentionally introduce such debt, it is called self-admitted technical debt (SATD). Since…
