TL;DR

The migration process is formalized as a Markov decision process, and a specialized multi-agent architecture is proposed, in which equivalence preservation is enforced through a RAG-informed Planner Agent, a fine-tuned Developer Agent and a Reviewer Agent that uses the Integral ABAP Quality Score (IAQS) as a formalized online stopping criterion.

TriArchitect: A Shared-State Multi-Agent Framework for Safe Java Code Migration

This work introduces TriArchitect, a novel shared-state multi-agent framework designed to bridge the gap between probabilistic reasoning and deterministic structural integrity, and introduces a rigorous Validator-Veto Protocol, which enforces a "compilation-as-consensus" rule to reject hallucinated proposals before they corrupt the codebase.

Super Library Agent: Joint Generation and Maintenance of Multiple Applications Beyond the Single Codebase

This work introduces the Super Library Agent problem, where an agent sequentially generates a portfolio of N related applications while maintaining a shared Super Library of reusable cross-application components, and addresses candidate-guided extraction over code chunk summaries, pre-extraction codebase consolidation, and context-aware migration using extraction traces and call-graph information.

Legacy System Modernization with Coding Agents: A Case Study

Legacy systems built on discontinued platforms are a recurring technological liability in organizations that depend on these applications to sustain critical business processes. Although modernization is strategically necessary, it is costly and error-prone when performed exclusively through manual effort. In this paper, we report on a case study conducted in a real industrial setting, where we evaluate both the effectiveness and efficiency of AI coding agents in supporting the migration of legacy systems to modern platforms. By using one version of Claude Code agent, we migrated 12 features of distinct complexity levels from a corporate ERP system written in Visual Basic 6 to C# .NET 10 under a single-generation strategy. Once the migration sessions were completed, we measured the equivalence of the migrated features against the original ones, and collected data about the time spent and the number of tokens consumed by the agent during the process. In our experiment, the agent achieved an average equivalence of 70%, with a strong asymmetry across complexity levels; low-level features achieved 92%, and high-complexity ones scored 47%. Similar asymmetry was observed in the cost-based metrics; low-level features consumed 1.47M tokens ($1.66), whereas high-level ones used 9.09M ($10.28). We reveal the practical scenarios and circumstances where this migration strategy is more effective, as well as discuss the limitations and challenges of using AI agents for legacy system modernization.

Metamorphic Testing of Multi-Agent LLM Systems: A Trace-Based Behavioral Oracle Framework

Multi-agent systems built on large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for complex tasks requiring autonomous planning, tool use, and inter-agent coordination. However, the non-deterministic nature of LLM outputs and the emergent behavior arising from agent interactions render traditional test oracles ineffective, creating a critical gap in quality assurance for agentic AI. This work introduces MORPHAGENT, a framework designed to address the oracle problem in multi-agent LLM systems through trace-based behavioral analysis. Our contributions are threefold: (1) goal-preservation relations that verify consistent goal achievement under input perturbations, (2) coordination-consistency relations that validate inter-agent delegation and communication patterns under agent substitution and reordering, and (3) tool-use integrity relations that ensure semantic equivalence of tool invocation sequences under prompt paraphrasing. MorphAgent instruments agent execution to capture structured traces comprising planning steps, tool calls, message exchanges, and final outputs, then systematically applies metamorphic transformations and checks behavioral invariants without requiring ground-truth oracles. We evaluate the framework on four multi-agent benchmarks spanning code generation, research synthesis, customer service, and data analysis tasks, encompassing 2,840 source-followup execution pairs across three LLM backends. Results show that MORPHAGENT detects 82.0% of seeded behavioral faults, including 90.3% of coordination failures and 81.7% of goal-deviation faults, while maintaining a false positive rate of 6.1%. The framework uncovers 14 previously unreported behavioral anomalies in established multi-agent frameworks, demonstrating its practical utility for assuring agentic AI reliability. These results suggest that trace-based metamorphic testing can serve as a practical foundation for reliable validation of emerging agentic AI systems.

A Multi-Agent LLM Framework for Automated Software Testing

A multi-agent testing framework in which requirement analysis, test-case generation, sandboxed execution, and defect detection are delegated to four distinct agents, and in which detection rests on a composite rule combining the execution signal with the semantic judgment of a dedicated diagnostic agent.
