Abstract

Evaluating large language models (LLMs) for software engineering has been limited by narrow task coverage, language bias, and insufficient alignment with real-world developer workflows. Existing benchmarks often focus on algorithmic problems or Pythoncentric bug fixing, leaving critical dimensions of software engineering underexplored. To address these gaps, we introduce SWE-Compass 1 , a comprehensive benchmark that unifies heterogeneous code-related evaluations into a structured and productionaligned framework. SWE-Compass spans 8 task types, 8 programming scenarios, and 10 programming languages, with 2000 high-quality instances curated from authentic GitHub pull requests and refined through systematic filtering and validation. We benchmark ten state-of-the-art LLMs under two agentic frameworks, SWE-Agent and Claude Code, revealing a clear hierarchy of difficulty across task types, languages, and scenarios. Moreover, by aligning evaluation with real-world developer practices, we hope SWE-Compass can provide a rigorous and reproducible foundation for diagnosing and advancing agentic coding capabilities in large language models.
