SWE Refactor Bench evaluates AI agents on full-stack software migration

The SWE Refactor Bench benchmark tests whether AI coding agents can autonomously perform long-horizon, whole-repository stack migrations, beyond just fixing bugs. It addresses limitations of prior benchmarks that only assess behavioral correctness, revealing that agents might copy code without comp...

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Modern software systems accumulate technical debt over decades of development, which makes migration expensive and largely manual. As coding agents become increasingly capable at bug fixing, can they autonomously perform such migrations? Existing benchmarks cannot answer this question because they evaluate only...

This benchmark highlights the challenge of using AI to manage complex software technical debt through migration, a task traditionally expensive and manual. It provides a more rigorous evaluation framework to measure true migration capabilities of coding agents.
