Cookie-Bench: Continuous On-screen Key Interaction Evaluation for Web Generation

arXiv:2605. 30000v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Front-end web code has become a core product surface for every frontier LLM release, yet evaluating these interactive applications at development speed remains costly because human-judged leaderboards like Arena do not scale.

WatchPoint: Executable User Feedback for Real-World Agentic Web Development

WatchPoint is a simulated‑user system that generates and runs diagnostic scripts against a live web application, producing structured observations to guide coding model retries. Unlike prior methods that rely on screenshots or non‑executable metrics, WatchPoint operates on Web‑Bench—a benchmark of 50 multi‑file web projects with 1,000 sequential tasks verified by deterministic end‑to‑end tests. It recovers 57.6% of diagnosed tasks, matching a human tester’s 54.5% recovery rate, and identifies when such simulated feedback is beneficial or should be withheld.

ComponentBench: Diagnosing Component-Level Failures in Computer-Use Agents

ComponentBench is a new benchmark that evaluates computer‑use agents at the component level on modern web UIs. It contains 97 canonical UI components and 2,910 programmatically verified tasks, along with cleaned human reference trajectories for measuring task success and interaction efficiency. The benchmark also offers a scalable pipeline for auditing structural difficulty and synthesizing failure analyses across tasks and component families.

Are We There Yet? Assessing Computer-Use Agents for Blind Users' Accessible Interaction with Desktop Applications

The study evaluates computer-use agents (CUAs) for blind users by conducting a three‑week diary study with eight participants using the OLLA prototype. Across 1,258 commands in 12 desktop applications, GPT‑5 achieved the highest success rate of 52.5%, while analysis uncovered failures in grounding, planning, constraint‑tracking, and termination. Interviews highlighted additional needs beyond automation for blind users.
