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 uses4
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
