TL;DR
Investigation of how adding hints to three types of scope and type checking error messages in the Agda ITP affects the new users’ debugging experience shows that correct hints can improve the success rate and time taken to fix the error, and that error messages with hints are rated significantly more helpful than those without.
Goanna is introduced, a novel type checker for Haskell that focuses on improving error diagnostics, and shows performance constraints when diagnosing large programs containing complex errors, but remains responsive enough to provide real-time debugging assistance for small to medium-sized programs.

While LLM-rewritten messages significantly improved subjective evaluations, with pragmatic messages rated as clearer and less cognitively demanding, these perceived gains did not translate into statistically significant improvements in objective debugging performance.

Interactive Theorem Provers (ITPs) like F* provide robust mathematical guarantees for software correctness, but their steep learning curves, specialized syntax, and complex proof mechanics severely limit their mainstream adoption. To lower this entry barrier, we propose StarFuse, an LLM-assisted developer tool that aut...

Debugging is an important activity in software development, yet providing actionable and comprehensible explanations for program failures remains challenging. Automated tools such as ALHAZEN and AVICENNA address this by using distinct strategies: ALHAZEN employs binary decision trees to show failure-inducing conditions...

FlowCheck, a constraint language to specify user-visible information flows directly through the application interface, where constraints can also be displayed and inspected without reading code, and are structured enough for reliable LLM generation.

An exploratory human-centered study of experienced users of Tamarin, ProVerif, and related protocol verifiers reveals usability barriers across the verification workflow, including difficulties debugging non-termination and performance issues, and the lack of systematic methods for validating formal models against real...
