arXiv:2606. 17799v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents have become a major mode of software engineering, but the benchmarks we use to compare them were designed in a pre-agent era: they collapse model, harness, and environment into a single end-to-end score, typically computed against one reference solution, with no component-level signal for iteration.
arXiv:2607. 03691v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Coding agents, autonomous systems that use large language models (LLMs) to resolve software engineering tasks, rely on agent harness: a middleware layer in between a developer and a large language model that orchestrates system prompts, tool execution, context management, and iterative reasoning loops.
arXiv:2606.21804v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Maintainability is a core dimension of software engineering, shaping how code is written, reviewed, and developed over time. While coding age...
arXiv:2609.01271v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic software engineering benchmarks are typically summarized by nominal category labels such as "bug fix" or "feature implementation," yet benchm...
arXiv:2606. 22678v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Agentic coding harnesses - such as Agent-Skills, Superpowers, and Agent-Rigor - are increasingly deployed to augment underlying LLMs for real-world software engineering tasks.
arXiv:2602. 22480v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: An important emerging application of coding agents is agent harness optimization: the iterative improvement of a target agent by editing and evaluating its code.
arXiv:2607. 06624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present AgentLens, a production-assessed benchmark for interactive code agents.
arXiv:2607. 03691v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents, autonomous systems that use large language models (LLMs) to resolve software engineering tasks, rely on agentic scaffolding: a middleware layer in between a developer and a large language model that orchestrates system prompts, tool execution, context management, and iterative reasoning loops.
arXiv:2609.08149v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: SWE-Bench Pro has emerged as a standard benchmark for evaluating software engineering agents on challenging repository-level tasks. However, our analys...
arXiv:2606. 28279v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present HORIZON, a self-evolving agent framework that treats hardware design as repository-level code evolution.
The paper introduces Pufibara, an agent harness designed to maintain engineering state and evidence across revisions in Modelica-based physical system modeling. It also presents a 232-task Modelica Agent Workflow Benchmark covering model repair, generation, and tuning, evaluated by an external benchmark-owned evaluator. Experiments show Pufibara outperforms Claude Code in task success and resource efficiency across two LLM backends.
arXiv:2605. 27898v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As LLMs are increasingly deployed as agents, reliable assessment of their agentic capabilities has become essential.
arXiv:2607. 02436v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic coding assistants are increasingly given extra capabilities, such as browser based testing tools and design oriented system prompts, on the assumption that more capability yields better software.
