Overview

Spring AI Bench is an open-source benchmarking framework focused on evaluating AI agents in enterprise Java development contexts. The project aims to provide transparent, reproducible benchmarks that address the limitations of existing approaches.

Why This Matters

The Problem with Current Benchmarks

Existing benchmarks like SWE-bench were groundbreaking for their time, but they have limitations:
Key Limitations:
  • Python-centric: 7-10% performance gap for non-Python languages
  • Static datasets: 2023 patches don’t reflect current development patterns
  • Narrow scope: Only patch-loop agents, missing modern declarative approaches
  • Single architecture: Can’t evaluate Claude, Gemini, Amazon Q, or other production agents
  • Contamination: Studies show 60%+ verified → 19% live performance drops

Our Approach

1

Full Development Lifecycle

Measure agents on real enterprise tasks: issue triage, PR review, test coverage, compliance, API migration
2

Language Diversity

Java-first focus to address training bias, but extensible to other JVM and non-JVM languages
3

Agent Flexibility

Support any agent via AgentModel abstraction—evaluate the tools YOUR team actually uses
4

Transparency & Reproducibility

One-click Docker execution, open scaffolding, clear documentation of methodology

Technical Foundation

Spring AI Bench provides:

Sandbox Isolation

Docker/local sandboxes for secure, reproducible execution

Agent Abstraction

AgentModel interface supports any agent implementation

Benchmark Tracks

Modular tracks for different enterprise development scenarios

Reporting

HTML/JSON reports with detailed metrics and analysis

Extensibility

Run on YOUR repos with YOUR scenarios

Open Source

Apache 2.0 licensed, community contributions welcome
