Abstract

Real-world software engineering rarely consists of isolated changes. Features, migrations, and systematic fixes often unfold across multiple pull requests (PRs), requiring coordinated modifications across a repository. Yet most executable repository-level benchmarks retain a single issue or PR as the task unit, while existing multi-PR settings rely on coarse aggregation and structure-agnostic evaluation. This mismatch obscures dependencies among changes and limits progress measurement and learning signals for long-horizon code agents. We introduce WEAVE, a framework that transforms verified PR histories into executable, dependency-structured tasks. WEAVE leverages repository-calibrated typed change loci to organize related PRs into bounded DAGs and instantiate each as a unified executable task. We further introduce Graph Credit, a deterministic, test-grounded metric that measures dependency-consistent partial progress and supports dense, verifiable rewards for reinforcement learning. Experiments on task construction, agent evaluation, supervised fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning show that WEAVE yields coherent executable tasks, enables more faithful progress measurement than flat scoring, and provides effective supervision and verifiable rewards for training code agents.

Change2Task: From Repository Changes to Executable Coding Agent Tasks and Environments

Scaling coding agents requires a continuing supply of executable data for training, benchmarking, and continuous evaluation. Each task must couple a realistic software state with a specification, development tools, and reliable verification. To expand this supply, we present Change2Task, a system grounded in repository history that converts merged pull requests (PRs) into verified tasks on healthy modern revisions of the same repository. It aligns historical evidence with evolved code, reconstructs task states through Patch Reversal, Code Mapping, or Agent Reconstruction, and validates the lifecycle from a healthy base to a task state and a restored state. By deriving multiple tasks grounded in developer evidence from maintained environments, Change2Task provides executable data for coding agent training and evaluation while reducing repeated environment setup, storage, and task construction effort. We evaluate five coding agent task families: Bug Fix, Feature Addition, Test Generation, Application Programming Interface (API) Migration, and Security Repair. Starting from 1,130 source changes eligible for construction, Change2Task achieves 79.6% verified task construction success across these task families. On a matched candidate set, it recovers 29.2% more verified tasks than a construction baseline based on PRs. Historical and reconstructed cases achieve 89.7% aggregate matched outcome agreement under agent evaluation, while reuse of modern bases reduces measured expenditure across the complete pipeline by 10.8%. Four matched studies examine construction stages, semantic review, branch consistency, and resource trade-offs. An industrial deployment further constructs 1,000 tasks from private PR histories and evaluates four models on a fixed 500-task cohort.

DeepSWE: Measuring Frontier Coding Agents on Original, Long-Horizon Engineering Tasks

DeepSWE is a benchmark of 113 original, long-horizon software engineering tasks for evaluating coding agents. Most public agentic coding benchmarks follow SWE-bench in mining merged fixes from public GitHub repositories, which creates two problems: the fixes and their discussion were likely seen during pretraining, so a high score can reflect recall rather than problem-solving; and each task is graded by the tests that shipped with its merged fix, which were written to confirm one specific fix rather than grade an arbitrary solution, so they can fail a correct alternative or pass an incomplete one. DeepSWE avoids both. Its tasks are written from scratch across 91 active open-source repositories and five languages and are never contributed back upstream, so their reference solutions stay out of the public record that model training scrapes; and each task is graded by a hand-written verifier that checks the requested functionality and accepts any implementation that provides it. When an independent LLM judge re-reviews graded runs, it disagrees with DeepSWE's verifier about an order of magnitude less often than with SWE-Bench Pro's inherited tests (1.4% versus 32.4%). Despite being about half the length of SWE-Bench Pro's prompts, DeepSWE's prompts describe tasks whose reference solutions touch 5.5x more code, and the benchmark separates frontier agents across a wider score band than the leaderboards on which they otherwise cluster. We release the benchmark, its verifiers, and the full record of evaluation trajectories.

SWE-Next: Scalable Real-World Software Engineering Tasks for Agents

Executable software engineering data is valuable for training SWE agents, but scaling it remains difficult for two reasons: only a small fraction of real repository changes yield verifiable, high-signal task instances, and naively building repository-specific environments quickly becomes the dominant systems cost. We present SWE-Next, an execution-grounded framework for scalable SWE task and trajectory collection. On the data side, SWE-Next mines real merged pull requests, executes candidate base/merged commit pairs, and retains only those that produce strict test improvements without regressions, yielding self-verifying instances. It also applies strict submission gating so that collected trajectories remain evidence-driven rather than speculative. On the systems side, SWE-Next introduces reusable repo-quarter profiles, which reuse the same environment across nearby commits in time while keeping each task run separate and reproducible. Using only 30 hours and 639GB of environment storage, SWE-Next processes 3,971 seed repositories and 102,582 candidate commit pairs mined from real merged PRs to construct a dataset of 2,308 self-verifying instances. Experiments show that SWE-Next improves downstream pass@1 with fewer or comparable training trajectories, indicating that its gains come not from a stronger trajectory generator, but from higher-signal execution-grounded supervision and more efficient data collection.
