Reproduction tests help developers confirm reported issues and provide executable feedback for issue resolution, yet issue reports in open-source projects rarely include such tests. Recent studies have explored generating issue reproduction tests from issue reports with large language models, but existing approaches largely rely on prompt-based pipelines that retrieve textual context and generate tests. This limits their ability to understand how reported issues behave in repository-scale codebases and to flexibly organize the construction of reproduction tests. In this paper, we propose ReProAgent, a multi-stage agent framework for reproduction test generation from issue reports. ReProAgent decomposes the task into four agent stages: bug localization, root cause analysis, test planning, and test generation. To support these stages, ReProAgent integrates task-specific tools for task decomposition and reflection, context retrieval from both textual sources and repository graphs, and runtime interaction with the execution environment. Experiments on SWT-bench-lite and SWT-bench-verified show that ReProAgent successfully reproduces 58.43% and 70.30% of issues, outperforming all baselines, with an average cost of $0.14 per instance. For example, when equipped with GPT-5-mini, ReProAgent exceeds OpenHands with the same backbone by 20.43 and 7.90 percentage points, respectively. ReProAgent also generalizes across multiple backbone LLMs and improves downstream issue resolution performance when integrated with existing repair approaches.

Recently, the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has spurred a surge of research into automated unit test generation, yielding impressive performance and reducing manual effort. However, existing LLM-based approaches still suffer from two major limitations: (1) they follow rigid, procedural workflows that underutilize the autonomous reasoning potential of LLMs, making it difficult to dynamically adapt testing strategies based on real-time feedback; and (2) they rely on rule-based context extraction that is not tailored to test generation, failing to capture fine-grained code dependencies and test-specific knowledge required for deriving test requirements. In this paper, we propose TestAgent, an LLM-based test generation approach that addresses the above limitations by emulating human testing practices via a multi-agent collaboration mechanism. Particularly, TestAgent designs three specialized agents, namely a requirement planner, a test generator, and a test reviewer, to simulate how developers understand, construct, and validate unit tests. To unleash the autonomous capabilities of LLMs, we equip TestAgent with a set of tool APIs that can be invoked dynamically in an on-demand and adaptive manner. To further support repository-level reasoning, TestAgent constructs a test-specialized knowledge graph via static analysis, which captures code entities and their dependencies across the project and persistently stores testing artifacts (e.g., test reports and failure analyses) produced during generation. Experimental results show that TestAgent achieves 97.46% execution rate, 92.34% line coverage, 90.24% branch coverage, and 83.69% mutation score on six Java projects, outperforming LLM-based baselines across all metrics and achieving substantially higher mutation scores than search-based tools.
