How to evaluate a coding assistant
Choose coding assistants around your workflow: help in an existing editor, repository changes or app development in a cloud environment. This editorial selection does not assign benchmark scores. Test candidates on the same tasks and include human review and model usage in your evaluation.
- Test a bug fix, a change across multiple files and an additional test from the same baseline. Define expected behavior and prohibited changes first.
- Compare passing tests, functional errors, security issues and human rework. Speed alone does not prove quality.
- Start in an isolated working copy. Limit file access, network access and command execution; review changes before merging and deployment.
- Check data paths, retention, training and contractual terms for the specific plan. A privacy setting does not guarantee GDPR compliance.
- Measure cost per accepted change: licenses, credits, model APIs, hosting and review time. Free entry is not unlimited free usage.
