Automated system improves bug report quality in software maintenance by enhancing evaluation and fine-tuning processes.
Bug reports in open-source projects are often incomplete or low in quality, which reduces maintenance efficiency. To address this issue, we propose AgentReport, a multi-agent pipeline based on large language models (LLMs). AgentReport integrates QLoRA-4bit lightweight fine-tuning, CTQRS (Completeness, Traceability, Quantifiability, Reproducibility, Specificity) structured prompting, Chain-of-Thought reasoning, and one-shot exemplar within seven modules: Data, Prompt, Fine-tuning, Generation, Evaluation, Reporting, and Controller. Using 3966 summary–report pairs from Bugzilla, AgentReport achieved 80.5% in CTQRS, 84.6% in ROUGE-1 Recall, 56.8% in ROUGE-1 F1, and 86.4% in Sentence-BERT (SBERT). Compared with the baseline (77.0% CTQRS, 61.0% ROUGE-1 Recall, 85.0% SBERT), AgentReport improved CTQRS by 3.5 percentage points, Recall by 23.6 points, and SBERT by 1.4 points. The inclusion of F1 complemented Recall-only evaluation, offering a balanced framework that covers structural completeness (CTQRS), lexical coverage and precision (ROUGE-1 Recall/F1), and semantic consistency (SBERT). This modular design enables consistent experimentation and flexible scaling, providing practical evidence that multi-agent LLM pipelines can generate higher-quality bug reports for software maintenance.
