UnverifiedRecursive self-improvement has a known pain point in the code generation domain of overfitting to a small number of test cases, where models make tests pass rather than genuinely solving the problem.77% similarUnverifiedIn the code repair experiments, the encoder (coder) was kept fixed, and the improvements were achieved under comparable test resource consumption75% similarVerifiedRegression testing refers to re-running existing test cases after modifying code to ensure that the new changes have not introduced new bugs or broken existing functionality.73% similarUnverifiedA growing test suite should undergo regular review like code, removing tests that are chronically flaky, redundantly cover the same logic, or no longer reflect current business requirements.73% similar
