Agentic Software Issue Resolution with Large Language Models: A Survey
Quick summary
arXiv:2512.22256v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Software issue resolution aims to address real-world issues in software repositories based on natural language descriptions provided by users, and represents a key aspect of software maintenance. With the rapid development of large language models (LLMs) in reasoning and generation, LLM-based approaches have made significant progress in automated software issue resolution. However, resolving real-world software issues is inherently complex and requires long-horizon reasoning, iterative exploration, and feedback-driven decision-making, w
