• Abstract: Evaluating LLM-generated interactive software requires execution in addition to static analysis. The key difficulty is that correctness is a graph-level reachable property over latent UI state-transition graphs, whereas a GUI evaluator observes only a single execution trajectory. A failed rollout therefore rules out only one realized path, leaving failure attribution ambiguous between evaluator-side execution error and genuine software defect. We present DiagEval, a trajectory-conditioned diagnostic evaluation protocol for post-failure GUI-agent evaluation of interactive software. Rather than blindly retrying from scratch, DiagEval reuses the failed trajectory to choose targeted diagnostic probes and aggregates their outcomes into an internal attribution signal. The latent-graph view motivates the diagnostic problem; DiagEval does not reconstruct the graph or estimate calibrated posterior probabilities. We evaluate DiagEval on WebDevJudge-Unit and RealDevBench across multiple GUI-agent evaluators and LLM backbones. On false-negative cases, DiagEval recovers 45.6-62.1% of failures that were initially misattributed to software defects, outperforming retry-based baselines with 34.4-160.6% relative gains. On the full evaluation sets, this recovery improves accuracy from 69.9% to 78.3% on WebDevJudge-Unit and from 65.0% to 81.6% on RealDevBench. These results suggest that reliable GUI-agent evaluation requires not only stronger execution, but also active failure diagnosis to disambiguate evaluator-side errors from genuine software defects.
