SaaSBench: Exploring the Boundaries of Coding Agents in Long-Horizon Enterprise SaaS Engineering
Summary
SaaSBench is a new benchmark for evaluating AI agents in enterprise SaaS development, involving multi-component system integration across 30 tasks, 6 domains, and 5,370 validation nodes. Experiments reveal that the main bottleneck for agents is system configuration and integration rather than isolated code generation.

Abstract
SaaSBench introduces a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating AI agents in enterprise SaaS development, addressing the limitations of existing benchmarks by incorporating multi-component system integration challenges.
Asautonomous coding agentsbecome capable of handling increasingly long-horizon tasks, they have gradually demonstrated the potential to complete end-to-endsoftware development. Although existing benchmarks have recently evolved from localized code editing to from-scratch project generation, they remain confined to structurally simplified, single-stack applications. Consequently, they fail to capture the heterogeneous environments, full-stack orchestration, andsystem-level complexityof real enterprise Software as a Service (SaaS) systems, leaving a critical gap in assessing agents under realistic engineering constraints. To fill this gap, we introduce SaaSBench, the first benchmark designed to explore the boundaries of AI agents in enterprise SaaS engineering. Spanning 30 complex tasks across 6 SaaS domains with 5,370 validation nodes, it incorporates 8 programming languages, 6 databases, and 13 frameworks to meticulously mirror real-world software heterogeneity. Furthermore, we design a dependency-aware hybrid evaluation paradigm tailored for complex systems with long horizons and multi-component coupling, enabling fine-grained, reproducible assessment. Crucially, our extensive experiments reveal a striking insight: the primary bottleneck for state-of-the-art agents is not generating isolated code logic, but successfully configuring and integrating amulti-component system. Over 95\% of task failures occur before agents even reach deep business logic, with models often falling victim to overconfidence and prematurely halting during foundational system setup, or getting trapped in ineffective debugging loops. We hope SaaSBench serves as a practical and challenging testbed to drive the evolution of reliable, system-level coding agents. The code is available at https://github.com/ShadeCloak/SaaSbench.
