Optimizing model-based generated tests for safety-critical embedded software

A test suite optimization approach that leverages symbolic classification, a greedy algorithm, and a similarity measure reduces MBT-generated test suites for embedded software by identifying and eliminating redundancy while minimizing its impact on the fault detection rate.

Programming Is a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) Game Now

Software development is moving away from writing code line by line. Instead of using AI only for simple autocomplete, developers now manage multiple coding agents across different parts of a codebase at once. While these tools make individual tasks faster, recent data shows that teams are generating far more code witho...

Enabling Passive Localization with a Single Moving Receiver through Periodic 5G Reference Signals

Passive Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) localization conventionally requires multiple synchronized receivers to obtain spatially diverse observations. In this paper, we show that the periodic nature of the 5G NR downlink Positioning Reference Signals (PRS), combined with receiver motion, provides an alternative sourc...

DroneFuzz: Detecting Cyber-Physical Peripheral Vulnerabilities via MAVLink Fuzzing

Robotic vehicles, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), are deployed in safety-critical applications ranging from package delivery to search and rescue operations. In these cyber-physical systems, software vulnerabilities can cause physical consequences such as collisions and mission failures, giving them direct saf...

SIGMA: Self-Improving Alignment Generalization from a Model Spec

SIGMA is proposed, a data generation and training pipeline enabling alignment self-improvement that generalizes to out-of-distribution settings and shows that a Model Spec balancing harmlessness and helpfulness, test-time reasoning for safety deliberation, and high-quality rubrics from SIGMA's task designer agent are c...

A Case Study in Assuring AI-Written Software

A case study of a production healthcare platform built through coding agents and governed by an operator without formal software-engineering training, which found that tests, monitors and reviewing agents used to supervise the system were fallible.

Learning from Failures: A Failure-Driven Prompt Refinement for LLM-Based Vulnerability Analysis

This work proposes Failure-Driven Prompt Refinement (FDPR), a methodology that analyzes recurring model failures to guide evidence-based prompt refinement, and shows that failure-driven refinement improves the reliability of LLM-based vulnerability analysis while yielding reusable prompt design principles.

Universal Prenatal cfDNA-Single Gene Disorder Screening for Autosomal Dominant Conditions in a Low-Risk Cohort: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis.

OBJECTIVE The use of cell free fetal DNA has expanded to include autosomal dominant single gene conditions (cfDNA-SGD). Our aim is to estimate the cost-effectiveness of a cfDNA-SGD panel in a general obstetric population as compared to offering this test only in the setting of anomalies. METHODS Using TreeAge softwar...

Harness Engineering for Software Engineering via Modular Executable Dev-Primitives

Large language models (LLMs) equipped with terminal access have demonstrated strong capabilities in automating software engineering tasks. However, existing agents remain brittle on long-horizon workflows, where they must repeatedly reconstruct program state scattered across source files, configurations, tests, depende...

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.
