Outline

This paper introduces HyperAgent, an innovative, general-purpose multi-agent system designed to perform a wide range of software engineering (SE) tasks in various programming languages. HyperAgent features four specialized agents (Planner, Navigator, Code Editor, and Executor) that mimic the workflow of a human developer and handle the entire lifecycle of an SE task, including planning, navigation, code editing, and execution. We demonstrate that HyperAgent outperforms existing state-of-the-art systems on a variety of SE tasks, including resolving GitHub issues using the SWE-Bench benchmark, generating repository-level code using RepoExec, and localizing defects and repairing programs using Defects4J.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We demonstrate that a multi-agent system based on LLMs can effectively mimic the workflow of human developers and automate various SE tasks.
HyperAgent has proven to be a general-purpose system applicable to general SE tasks, unlike existing systems limited to specific functions.
Demonstrated system excellence by exceeding previous best performance in various benchmarks.
Limitations:
The paper lacks a detailed description of the specific implementation of HyperAgent or the operating mechanism of each agent.
Although it shows generalized performance for a variety of SE tasks, there is a possibility of performance degradation for certain types of tasks or programming languages.
Additional verification of applicability and stability in actual commercial environments is required.
