SWE-DIVE: Multi-Turn Coding Agent Evaluation with Dynamic User Simulation

To benchmark these abilities, we developed SWE-DIVE, a dynamic, interactive validation and evaluation framework for benchmarking coding agents in a multi-turn environment.

Key points

  • Coding agents are typically evaluated using one-shot, well-formulated prompts.
  • Benchmarks such as SWE-bench use existing GitHub issues as input for a coding agent and evaluate whether the agent successfully solves the task.
  • To achieve this, we introduce a user simulator that can simulate different behavioral patterns and communicate with the coding agent.
  • We also introduce a conversation validator that evaluates the user simulator's outputs to determine whether they fulfill the initial requirements and guide the agent toward successfully solving the task.
