SimuWoB: Simulating Real-World Mobile Apps for Fast and Faithful GUI Agent Benchmarking
Summary
SimuWoB is a synthetic benchmark with 120 challenging tasks for mobile GUI agents, using high-fidelity virtual environments and automatic reward generation. Experiments reveal that current agents achieve only 27.92% average success rate, dropping to 17.82% on long-horizon tasks, indicating substantial weaknesses in complex scenarios.

Abstract
A synthetic benchmark for mobile GUI agents with 120 challenging tasks is introduced, featuring high-fidelity virtual environments with automatic reward generation and revealing significant limitations in current agent performance on complex, long-horizon interactions.
Mobile GUI agentspowered bylarge language modelshave progressed rapidly, creating urgent needs for realistic and comprehensive evaluation. Existing benchmarks prioritize reproducibility but are often limited to open-source apps or file-operation tasks for the difficulty of constructing rewards on real applications, leaving a gap between benchmark settings and real-world usage. Moreover, most benchmarks focus on basic grounding and navigation, with limited coverage of complex,long-horizon interactions. To address these limitations, we introduce SimuWoB, a fullysynthetic benchmarkformobile GUI agentswith 120 challenging tasks spanning diverse types and difficulty levels. We build a robustvirtual environment generationframework that synthesizeshigh-fidelity tasksand environments, and automatically provides valid rewards for each task. Each environment is deployed as a backend-free webpage accessible via URL, enabling efficient and reproducible evaluation. We conductcomprehensive experimentson several state-of-the-artmobile GUI agents. The average success rate is only 27.92%, dropping to 17.82% on long-horizon tasks, which reveals substantial weaknesses in current agents under complex scenarios. Evaluation result comparison with real-world sample tasks demonstrate that agent assessments based on our synthetic environment generalize well. We further providediagnostic insightsacross key capability dimensions and discuss implications for future mobile GUI agent development.
