Benchmarking Code LLM-as-a-Judge via Constrained Perturbation and Calibration

The paper introduces AXIOM, a perturbation-based framework for creating a balanced benchmark of code evaluation problems. AXIOM refines program quality by applying controlled semantic perturbations and then calibrates scores through selective manual annotation, resulting in the multilingual AXIOMBENCH dataset with 1,962 problems. This approach addresses limitations of prior benchmarks that rely on coarse binary labels or subjective human scoring.

Litmus: Zero-Label, Code-Driven Metric Specification for Evaluating AI Systems

Litmus is a zero-label system that automatically designs evaluation and monitoring metrics for AI pipelines by extracting evaluation intent from source code and targeted interrogation. It identifies what must be measured and why, then generates a justified, per-stage metric portfolio. In experiments on three real code-defined pipelines, Litmus outperforms AutoMetrics and DynamicRubric baselines in concern coverage, stage span, redundancy, and validity against per-row quality labels, especially on scientific QA.

Can LLMs Reason About Runtime Behavior? A Repository-Level Dynamic Benchmark

The paper introduces SWE-Flux, a repository‑level benchmark designed to test large language models’ ability to reason about runtime behavior. It contains 480 execution‑grounded instances from 12 real Python repositories, with gold answers automatically harvested from instrumented test executions. Evaluation of five LLMs shows the task remains difficult, with the best model achieving only 37% accuracy, and the benchmark can generate challenging variants through input perturbation.

From Static to Dynamic: Benchmarking Real-World Code Review with MCR-Bench

The paper introduces MCR-Bench, a benchmark for realistic multi‑round code review that includes 2,269 real‑world tasks across five programming languages, each annotated with fine‑grained defect information and dynamic state labels. Experiments with mainstream large language models show limited overall performance, especially as interaction rounds increase, and reveal that model accuracy varies by defect type and severity. Error analysis identifies key failure mechanisms such as cross‑round temporal misalignment and insufficient long‑range memory.
