UnitCoder introduces a scalable approach for generating high-quality code by leveraging unit tests as guidance, significantly improving code synthesis capabilities in Large Language Models.

• Creates a feedback loop between code generation and unit test validation
• Produces code that is both functionally correct and follows best practices
• Enables iterative improvement through test-driven development principles
• Addresses limitations in existing approaches that rely solely on pretraining or instruction tuning

This research advances software engineering by providing a systematic method to generate reliable, production-quality code that meets specific requirements—potentially transforming how developers leverage AI for programming tasks.
