    From General Agents to RCA Experts: A Self-Evolving Harness for Root Cause Analysis

    Haiyu Huang, Jiewei Lyu, Zhihan Jiang, Jinyang Liu, Xiao He, Tieying Zhang, Wu Xiang, Michael R. Lyu

    cs.SE · cs.AI

    Automated root cause analysis (RCA) with large language models (LLMs) has drawn growing attention. Today, SREs typically automate RCA with LLMs in one of two ways: directly using a general-purpose agent (e.g., Codex or Claude Code) for diagnosis, or building a specialized RCA agent from scratch. As mainstream general agents grow more capable and iterate quickly, our quantitative study finds that the former now often surpasses the latter. Its...

    RotDroid: Cross-Orientation State Equivalence Testing for Detecting GUI Rotation Bugs in Android Apps

    Mengdi Qin, Bo Jiang

    cs.SE · cs.AI

    Screen rotation is a fundamental interaction in Android applications, but it often introduces non-crashing functional failures (NCFs), such as layout inconsistencies and state loss, which are difficult to detect automatically. A key challenge is the lack of effective test oracles for checking cross-orientation state equivalence between portrait and landscape views. We propose RotDroid, a testing framework for detecting GUI rotation bugs via...
