A Validated Measurement Protocol for Comparable, Cost-Aware Software Testing Evaluation: A Reproducible Benchmark, an Oracle Sampling-Budget Guarantee, and a Real-Fault Validity Study, Instantiated for Quantum Programs

This paper introduces a validated, reproducible measurement protocol (QSQ-Bench and Q-EVAL) that ensures comparable, cost-aware, and construct-valid software testing evaluations by establishing statistical oracle guarantees and demonstrating its effectiveness through a comprehensive study on quantum programs and a classical system.

Context-Aware LLM Evaluators for Content Moderation Judgments in a Low-Resource Setting

This study demonstrates that while context-aware prompting and retrieval of prior decisions can improve Large Language Model evaluators for German newspaper forum moderation, the choice of model capacity is more critical than the prompting strategy, with the largest model outperforming supervised systems on rare removal categories without requiring annotated training data.
