Systematic Literature Review of Prompt Engineering Patterns in Software Engineering
A pioneering taxonomy offers a foundational framework that clarifies the roles of prompt engineering and measures its impact, thereby guiding evolving AI -driven software engineering research and practices.
Abstract
Advancements in large language models (LLMs) are transforming software engineering through innovative prompt engineering strategies. By analyzing prompt-driven enhancements across key software engineering tasks, we present a sys-tematic literature review and a pioneering taxonomy elucidating the practical applications of prompt engineering in software engineering. Our taxonomy offers a foundational framework that clarifies the roles of prompt engineering and measures its impact, thereby guiding evolving AI -driven software engineering research and practices.
