本文针对软件工程中提示工程的成熟度问题,通过PROMPT-SE研讨会讨论后提出涵盖五大领域的研究议程,推动其从临时交互转向系统化软件工程实践。
AI 中文摘要
提示工程正越来越多地应用于软件工程(Software Engineering, SE)的各项活动中,包括需求分析、编码、测试、文档编写、仓库分析以及规划。然而,提示及相关指令制品通常是通过特定任务的非正式实践创建和演进的,对其系统评估、管理、可追溯性和治理的支持有限。为探究软件工程如何助力这些实践的成熟,我们在与EASE 2026同期举办的第一届软件工程实证提示工程国际研讨会(PROMPT-SE)上组织了一场结构化的社区讨论。参与者讨论了当前的提示实践、其采用与评估面临的挑战,以及将提示工程整合到软件开发中的未来方向。我们将这些讨论综合为五个领域:提示制品与标准化;评估与基准;生命周期整合;人机协作与技能;以及治理、隐私与技术债务。基于这些领域,我们提出一项研究议程,旨在推动提示工程从主要的临时交互转向更系统、可维护、可评估、可追溯且可治理的软件工程实践。
英文摘要
Prompt engineering is increasingly used across Software Engineering (SE) activities, including requirements analysis, coding, testing, documentation, repository analysis, and planning. Yet prompts and related instruction artifacts are often created and evolved through task-specific and informal practices, with limited support for their systematic evaluation, management, traceability, and governance. To examine how SE can contribute to the maturation of these practices, we organized a structured community discussion at the First International Workshop on Empirical Prompt Engineering for Software Engineering (PROMPT-SE), co-located with EASE 2026. Participants discussed current prompting practices, challenges to their adoption and evaluation, and future directions for integrating prompt engineering into software development. We synthesized these discussions into five areas: prompt artifacts and standardization; evaluation and benchmarking; lifecycle integration; human-AI collaboration and skills; and governance, privacy, and technical debt. Based on these areas, we outline a research agenda to move prompt engineering from predominantly ad hoc interactions toward more systematic, maintainable, evaluable, traceable, and governable SE practices.
