Property-Based Testing of Wafer Handling Robots via Model-Based Planning and Fuzzing

This experience paper introduces a property-based testing approach for WHRs, finding 21 previously unknown bugs, including axis limit violations, entanglement issues, and missing interlock checks, and distilled a number of practical lessons learned.

The Gene Is Not the Gate: Conceptualizing the Semantic Genome of Quantum Software

This work presents QGenome, a semantic foundation for quantum software genomics that establishes a falsifiable framework and a concrete research agenda for gene mining, lineage recovery, cross-layer regression testing and repair, and evidence-grounded quantum software agents.

Prompt Pipelines as Engineered Artifacts: Regression-Testing a Multi-agent Threat-Modeling Pipeline

The experience suggests that the PromptOps practices recently proposed for general LLM applications transfer directly to security engineering, and that a fixed evaluation corpus with cost-aware metrics is the single most valuable artifact a prompt-pipeline team can maintain.

Using LLM Agents for Security Testing of Compiled Mobile Applications: A Case Study on a Real-World Compiled iOS App

It is concluded that developers should use LLMs at the source-code level to counter adversaries applying the same techniques on decompiled code and research should advance decompilation support for the growing language diversity in the iOS ecosystem.

Agentic Software Porting: Lessons from the CHERI-PIT

Eight lessons from six months of developing CHERI-PIT, an LLM-agent pipeline that ports C/C++ projects to the memory-safe pure-capability (purecap) ABI of CHERI hardware on Arm Morello, trace a path toward a porting tool that emits reproducible and auditable port recipes.

Toward Defensible System Behavior for AI-Generated Software Artifacts

This vision paper argues that trustworthy AI-assisted software engineering requires behavioural accountability: making implicit assumptions explicit, surfacing behavioural violations, and producing auditable evidence for developers and CI pipelines.

Software Engineering Governance: Foundations for Trustworthy Automated Software Engineering

Viewing trustworthy automation through this governance perspective reveals two complementary governance responsibilities: Before automated execution, trustworthiness objectives must be systematically operationalised into lifecycle artefacts that guide or constrain engineering behaviour and after execution, operational...

AI Meets Program Analysis: Lessons from a Decade of Enterprise Software Modernization at IBM

This paper argues that AI and program analysis are not competing technologies but complementary capabilities, and envision enterprise software engineering as a collaboration in which program analysis provides evidence, AI provides intelligence, and human engineers contribute the judgment and wisdom required to build tr...

Requirements Don’t Live in Isolation: What We’re Exploring with Req-Space

Requirements in large systems rarely exist in isolation. Their meaning depends on the wider project context - other requirements, policies, decisions, tests, and implementation details. That becomes especially important when AI is used for review, because spotting a possible conflict or gap is only the beginning. ReqSpace explores how AI, visualisation, and connected project context can help reviewers understand those findings, trace the relationships behind them, and focus on the questions that…

Beyond Prompt Engineering: The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Software Engineering

AI is making software generation faster, but speed does not remove the need for expertise. As more work is delegated to AI, tacit knowledge may become one of the most important human advantages in software engineering. The post Beyond Prompt Engineering: The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Software Engineering appeared first on GPT-Lab.
