Software agents have emerged as promising tools for addressing complex software engineering tasks. Existing works, on the other hand, frequently oversimplify software development workflows, despite the fact that such workflows are typically more complex in the real world. Thus, we propose AgileCoder, a multi agent system that integrates Agile Methodology (AM) into the framework. This system assigns specific AM roles - such as Product Manager, Developer, and Tester to different agents, who then collaboratively develop software based on user inputs. AgileCoder enhances development efficiency by organizing work into sprints, focusing on incrementally developing software through sprints. Additionally, we introduce Dynamic Code Graph Generator, a module that creates a Code Dependency Graph dynamically as updates are made to the codebase. This allows agents to better comprehend the codebase, leading to more precise code generation and modifications throughout the software development process. AgileCoder surpasses existing benchmarks, like ChatDev and MetaGPT, establishing a new standard and showcasing the capabilities of multi agent systems in advanced software engineering environments.

Code Large Language Models (CodeLLMs) have ushered in a new era of code generation advancements. However, selecting the best solutions from among all possible CodeLLM solutions remains a challenge. Previous methods frequently overlooked the intricate functional similarities and interactions between clusters, resulting in suboptimal results. In this work, we introduce \textit{SRank}, a novel reranking strategy for selecting the best solution from code generation that focuses on modeling inter-cluster relationship. By quantifying the functional overlap between clusters, our approach provides a better ranking strategy of code solutions. Empirical results show that our method achieves a remarkable results on pass@1 score. For instance, on the Human-Eval benchmark, we achieve 69.66\% in pass@1 with Codex002, 75.31\% for WizardCoder, 53.99\% for StarCoder and 60.55\% for CodeGen, which surpass the state-of-the-arts solution ranking methods, such as CodeT and Coder-Reviewer on the same CodeLLM with significant margin ($\approx 6.1\%$ improvement on average). Comparing to the random sampling method, we can achieve an average improvement of $\approx 23.07\%$ on Human-Eval and 17.64\% on MBPP. Even in scenarios with limited test inputs, our approach demonstrates robustness and superiority, marking a new state-of-the-arts in code generation reranking.

We propose a novel method for code summarization utilizing Heterogeneous Code Representations (HCRs) and our specially designed HierarchyNet. HCRs effectively capture essential code features at lexical, syntactic, and semantic levels by abstracting coarse-grained code elements and incorporating fine-grained program elements in a hierarchical structure. Our HierarchyNet method processes each layer of the HCR separately through a unique combination of the Heterogeneous Graph Transformer, a Tree-based CNN, and a Transformer Encoder. This approach preserves dependencies between code elements and captures relations through a novel Hierarchical-Aware Cross Attention layer. Our method surpasses current state-of-the-art techniques, such as PA-Former, CAST, and NeuralCodeSum.
