TraceDev: A Traceability-Driven Multi-agent Framework for Requirement-to-Code Development
TraceDev is a multi-agent framework designed to convert natural language requirements into repository-level code using five specialized agents and a traceability graph. In evaluations on two datasets, TraceDev achieved success rates of 53.63% and 56.82%, outperforming state-of-the-art baselines by up to 340.80%. The framework emphasizes explicit requirement traceability, supporting more reliable code generation for complex software scenarios.
Why it matters: TraceDev introduces a novel approach to requirement traceability in automated code generation, addressing a key limitation in current LLM-based software development methods.
