FullFront is a new benchmark that evaluates Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) across the entire front‑end engineering workflow, covering webpage design, perception QA, and code generation. It uses a two‑stage process to convert real‑world webpages into clean, standardized HTML, avoiding copyright issues and providing diverse visual designs. Experiments show that current MLLMs struggle with page perception, image handling, layout, and interaction implementation, revealing a large gap compared to human experts.

WebUIProof is a new execution‑oriented benchmark for WebUI code generation that supplies structured specifications and dense, executable interaction tests across general WebUIs and 3D interactive simulations. It employs a UI‑agent harness that runs tests in a headless browser using a plan–act–observe loop to locate DOM elements, perform actions, observe changes, and verify assertions. Evaluations on eight commercial LLMs reveal frequent interaction‑based failures, especially on 3D interfaces, and demonstrate that training compact models with RL rewards from these tests improves functional completion and reduces build failures.
