A Structured Multi-Phase Benchmark for Autonomous Software Engineering Agents

Code generation benchmarks measure output quality. Real software engineering demands planning, multi-file coordination, iterative self-correction, and reflective improvement. TeamForge measures the full process โ€” not just the product.


โœ… Hackathon Compliance Checklist

Every mandatory requirement is implemented and verified:

OpenEnv Validator Compliance

Status: Strictly within (0.001, 0.999) interior range.

๐Ÿ” Technical Diagnosis & Fix

  • Error: "Each task's score must be strictly between 0 and 1 (not 0.0 and not 1.0)"
  • Cause: The hackathon validator requires scores in the open interval (0, 1). A perfect lint or test score returning exactly 1.0 (or 0.0 on failure) was triggering the range rejection.
  • Fix: Implemented a robust _clamp() system in grader.py and global baselines.
    • _SCORE_MIN = 0.001 (never exactly 0.0)
    • _SCORE_MAX = 0.999 (never exactly 1.0)
  • Compliance: Every sub-score, reward, and final result is now guaranteed to be in the [0.001, 0.999] range.

๐ŸŽฏ What Makes TeamForge Different

Current benchmarks (HumanEval, SWE-bench, MBPP) treat code generation as a single-turn prediction task. TeamForge treats it as what it actually is:

A multi-step decision process under uncertainty, with real test execution, real lint feedback, real Git history, and real self-correction.

Property HumanEval SWE-bench TeamForge
Multi-step episodes โœ— Partial โœ… 20โ€“40 steps
Real test execution โœ— โœ… โœ… subprocess pytest
Planning evaluation โœ— โœ— โœ… scored phase
Self-correction loop โœ— โœ— โœ… SelfReflect action
Code review artifact โœ— โœ— โœ… scored
Dense reward signal โœ— โœ— โœ… every step
Anti-exploit grader โœ— Partial โœ… AST-based
Free tier accessible โœ… โœ— โœ… Groq free API

๐Ÿ“‹ Tasks

๐ŸŸข Easy โ€” easy_bugfix_chunk_list

Real-world analog: Junior developer fixing a reported production bug

  • Off-by-one in range() silently drops the final chunk
  • chunk_list([1,2,3,4,5], 2) returns [[1,2],[3,4]] instead of [[1,2],[3,4],[5]]
  • 1 file ยท 7 tests ยท 20 step limit ยท grader score 0.01โ€“0.99

๐ŸŸก Medium โ€” medium_refactor_stats

Real-world analog: Mid-level developer splitting a growing module

  • Monolithic stats.py must become a stats/ package
  • from stats import mean, median, std_dev, percentile must still work
  • 4 files to create ยท 15 tests ยท backward compatibility required ยท 30 step limit

๐Ÿ”ด Hard โ€” hard_lru_cache_performance

Real-world analog: Senior developer implementing a performance-critical data structure

  • Implement LRUCache(capacity) from a stub with O(1) get/put
  • 15 correctness tests + 1 performance test: 10,000 ops in < 200ms
  • Algorithm design + complexity analysis + perf constraint ยท 40 step limit


๐Ÿ“Š Research Findings

Run python analysis.py to reproduce all findings:

Finding 1 โ€” Scale predicts Hard tasks, not Easy ones Model size correlates with Hard task score at r=0.73, but only r=0.58 for Easy. Hard tasks require genuine multi-step planning; Easy tasks are solvable by pattern matching.

Finding 2 โ€” Step degradation peaks at Medium, not Hard All models show the sharpest step-count increase at Medium difficulty (multi-file coordination), suggesting the planning bottleneck is file coordination, not algorithm complexity.

Finding 3 โ€” Test pass rate predicts final score (r=0.990) Across all 12 (model ร— task) pairs, test_pass_rate correlates with final_score at r=0.990, validating the 40% weight in the scoring formula.

Finding 4 โ€” Hard task is a genuine capability boundary 0 of 4 tested models achieve score โ‰ฅ 0.70 on the Hard task. The O(1) + performance constraint creates a meaningful separator between model classes.

๐Ÿงฎ Scoring Formula

Per-task score =
    0.40 ร— test_pass_rate      โ† Did the code actually work?
  + 0.25 ร— lint_score          โ† Is it production-quality?
  + 0.20 ร— efficiency_score    โ† Did the agent plan efficiently?
  + 0.10 ร— review_quality      โ† Does it understand what it fixed?
  + 0.05 ร— reflection_quality  โ† Can it improve itself?

TeamForge Score (aggregate) =
    0.20 ร— easy_score
  + 0.35 ร— medium_score
  + 0.45 ร— hard_score

โšก Dense Reward Function

r(t) = 0.01 # step baseline reward โ€” must be > 0 + action_type_bonus # +0.05 edit / +0.10 review / +0.10 commit + ฮ”passing_tests ร— 0.05 # each newly-passing test (delta-based) + 0.05 ร— (lint_violations == 0) # clean code bonus # Penalties (failures) now return a minimal baseline (0.01) rather than negative


The delta-based test bonus provides a smooth gradient toward correctness. All values are strictly clamped between 0.01 and 0.99 to satisfy Phase 2 validator constraints.

## ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Anti-Exploit Guarantees

| Exploit Attempt | Guard |
|---|---|
| Rewrite tests to `assert True` | AST walker inspects every test function body |
| Empty stub that passes tests | Implementation existence check (โ‰ฅ5 non-blank lines) |
| Delete all tests to get lint-only score | Test presence verified before grading |
| Cross-episode contamination | Fresh `tempfile` Git sandbox per episode |

๐Ÿ”ฌ Why This Matters for AI Research

TeamForge is a measurement instrument for a capability no existing benchmark directly measures: the ability to reason about software as a process, not just a product.

For RL researchers: The dense, shaped reward function enables RL fine-tuning of LLMs on software engineering tasks. The delta-based test bonus and step cost create a stable gradient landscape โ€” a property SWE-bench's sparse end-state reward lacks.

For agent researchers: TeamForge forces models to maintain coherent state across 20โ€“40 steps, testing multi-step reasoning in a way single-turn benchmarks cannot. The phase structure (Plan โ†’ Code โ†’ Test โ†’ Review โ†’ Reflect) maps directly to how real software teams operate.

For evaluation researchers: The AST-based test-tampering detector closes the most obvious exploit in execution-based benchmarks. The isolated Git sandboxes eliminate cross-episode contamination. Every grading run is fully reproducible.

For accessibility: Built on Groq's free tier (Llama 3, Mixtral). Any researcher can reproduce the full benchmark without cloud spend or waiting lists.


๐Ÿ“œ Evaluation Protocol

To submit to the leaderboard, all runs must follow the canonical protocol:

  1. 3 independent runs per (model ร— task) โ€” best run counts
  2. Temperature = 0.15 for all model calls
  3. python evaluation.py --model <name> --runs 3 โ€” do not modify the script
  4. Results file: results/<model>/eval_<timestamp>.json
  5. Submit via Pull Request to this repository
