In this work, we introduce CodeRepoQA, a large-scale benchmark specifically designed for evaluating repository-level question-answering capabilities in the field of software engineering. CodeRepoQA encompasses five programming languages and covers a wide range of scenarios, enabling comprehensive evaluation of language models. To construct this dataset, we crawl data from 30 well-known repositories in GitHub, the largest platform for hosting and collaborating on code, and carefully filter raw data. In total, CodeRepoQA is a multi-turn question-answering benchmark with 585,687 entries, covering a diverse array of software engineering scenarios, with an average of 6.62 dialogue turns per entry. We evaluate ten popular large language models on our dataset and provide in-depth analysis. We find that LLMs still have limitations in question-answering capabilities in the field of software engineering, and medium-length contexts are more conducive to LLMs' performance. The entire benchmark is publicly available at https://github.com/kinesiatricssxilm14/CodeRepoQA.

  1. RepoReasoner: Evaluating Repository-Level Code Reasoning Ability of Long-Context Language Models

    cs.SE 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    RepoReasoner is a repository-level code-reasoning benchmark with output-prediction and call-chain tasks; the best LLM reaches only 69.1% Pass@1 even with oracle context, with low recall in dependency tracing.

  2. Neurosymbolic Repo-level Code Localization

    cs.SE 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    LogicLoc combines LLMs with Datalog to achieve accurate repo-level code localization without relying on keyword shortcuts in benchmarks.

  3. SWE-QA: Can Language Models Answer Repository-level Code Questions?

    cs.CL 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    SWE-QA creates a new repository-level code QA benchmark with 576 pairs and an agentic LLM framework, showing promise but open challenges for models handling complex codebases.

  4. Deep Agentic Search for Repository-Level Code Question Answering: An Empirical Study

    cs.SE 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    On SWE-QA, semantic search beat deep agentic search in accuracy (65.2% vs 46.2% Pass) and in cost per correct answer, with 41.8% of deep agent failures attributed to planner-to-subagent coordination breakdowns.

  5. Know Before Fix: QA-Driven Repository Knowledge Acquisition for Software Issue Resolution

    cs.SE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    QA-driven pre-repair knowledge acquisition (Questioner + Answerer, then Resolver) raises SWE-bench Verified Pass@1 by up to 4.4 points over Mini-SWE-Agent and other pre-repair methods.

  6. Rethinking Code Review in the Age of AI: A Vision for Agentic Code Review

    cs.SE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper presents a vision for an agentic code review framework spanning PR Creation, Augmentation, Reviewer Selection, AI-Assisted Review, and Retrospective, with humans retained at quality gates.

  7. Rethinking Code Review in the Age of AI: A Vision for Agentic Code Review

    cs.SE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Proposes a five-stage agentic AI framework for code review with human quality gates to maintain context, accountability, and team understanding.
