Agentic Software Engineering (SE 3.0): The Rise of AI Teammates

We are witnessing the emergence of Agentic Software Engineering (SE~3.0), where AI agents act as autonomous AI Teammates performing complex tasks such as coding, debugging, and testing. As AI Teammates generate a vast new category of digital artifacts, they introduce unique opportunities and challenges related to human...

What Makes a Good Bug Report for an AI Agent?

It is found that a good bug report for an agent overlaps with, but is not identical to, a good report for a human: agents benefit most from concrete, executable, and well-localized information, whereas some qualities long emphasized for human readers, such as natural language steps to reproduce and readable description...
