## 👋 Overview
+
SWT-bench is a benchmark for evaluating large language models on testing generation for real world software issues collected from GitHub.
Given a *codebase* and an *issue*, a language model is tasked with generating a *reproducing test* that fails in the original state of the code base and passes after a patch resolving the issue has been applied.
