With the rapid evolution of LLMs, automated software testing is witnessing a paradigm shift. While proprietary models like GPT-4o demonstrate impressive capabilities, their high deployment costs and data privacy concerns make open-source LLMs the practical imperative for many academic and industrial scenarios. In the field of automated test generation, it has evolved to iterative workflows to construct test suites based on LLMs. When utilizing open-source LLMs, we empirically observe they lack a suite-level perspective, suffering from structural myopia-failing to generate new tests with large marginal gain based on the current covered status. In this paper, from the perspective of sequences, we formalize test suite generation as a MDP and demonstrate that its objective exhibits monotone submodularity, which enables an effective relaxation of this NP-hard global optimization into a tractable step-wise greedy procedure. Guided by this insight, we propose TestDecision, which transforms LLMs into neural greedy experts. TestDecision consists of two synergistic components: (1) an inference framework which implements test suite construction following a step-wise greedy strategy; and (2) a training pipeline of reinforcement learning which equips the base LLM with sequential test generation ability to maximize marginal gain. Comprehensive evaluations on the ULT benchmark demonstrate that TestDecision significantly outperforms existing advanced methods. It brings an improvement between 38.15-52.37% in branch coverage and 298.22-558.88% in execution pass rate over all base models, achieving a comparable performance on 7B backbone with a much larger proprietary LLM GPT-5.2. Furthermore, TestDecision can find 58.43-95.45% more bugs than vanilla base LLMs and exhibit superior generalization on LiveCodeBench, proving its capability to construct high-quality test suites.

This paper introduces Code-Vision, a benchmark designed to evaluate the logical understanding and code generation capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). It challenges MLLMs to generate a correct program that fulfills specific functionality requirements based on a given flowchart, which visually represents the desired algorithm or process. Code-Vision comprises three subsets: HumanEval-V, Algorithm, and MATH, which evaluate MLLMs' coding abilities across basic programming, algorithmic, and mathematical problem-solving domains. Our experiments evaluate 12 MLLMs on Code-Vision. Experimental results demonstrate that there is a large performance difference between proprietary and open-source models. On Hard problems, GPT-4o can achieve 79.3% pass@1, but the best open-source model only achieves 15%. Further experiments reveal that Code-Vision can pose unique challenges compared to other multimodal reasoning benchmarks MMCode and MathVista. We also explore the reason for the poor performance of the open-source models. All data and codes are available at https://github.com/wanghanbinpanda/CodeVision.

Previous work on augmenting large multimodal models (LMMs) for text-to-image (T2I) generation has focused on enriching the input space of in-context learning (ICL). This includes providing a few demonstrations and optimizing image descriptions to be more detailed and logical. However, as demand for more complex and flexible image descriptions grows, enhancing comprehension of input text within the ICL paradigm remains a critical yet underexplored area. In this work, we extend this line of research by constructing parallel multilingual prompts aimed at harnessing the multilingual capabilities of LMMs. More specifically, we translate the input text into several languages and provide the models with both the original text and the translations. Experiments on two LMMs across 3 benchmarks show that our method, PMT2I, achieves superior performance in general, compositional, and fine-grained assessments, especially in human preference alignment. Additionally, with its advantage of generating more diverse images, PMT2I significantly outperforms baseline prompts when incorporated with reranking methods.
