Abstract
Resolving software defects can be delayed by incomplete bug reports, which may require manual developer follow-up to obtain information needed for reproduction which increases the time required to fix the bug (mean-time-to-resolve). The disclosed technology describes an automated, iterative multi-agent system that can process these reports. The system can ingest a report (for example, a bug raised by a user through an issue tracker) and use specialized agents (for example, for coding, verification, and reflection) within a reproduction loop to attempt to generate a runnable code example that triggers the described error. A reflection agent can analyze failed attempts to guide subsequent iterations. The system may automate aspects of preliminary triage and reproduction of bugs, which can assist in converting ambiguous user submissions into confirmed, reproducible code snippets. This may reduce manual effort for software maintainers and support the bug resolution lifecycle.
