The task of issue resolving is to modify a codebase to generate a patch that addresses a given issue. However, existing benchmarks, such as SWE-bench, focus almost exclusively on Python, making them insufficient for evaluating Large…

Benchmarks like SWE-bench have standardized the evaluation of Large Language Models (LLMs) on repository-level software engineering tasks. However, these efforts remain limited by manual curation, static datasets, and a focus on…

Resolving issues on code repositories is an important part of software engineering. Various recent systems automatically resolve issues using large language models and agents, often with impressive performance. Unfortunately, most of these…
