Coding Agent Comparison Lab
Choosing a coding agent should not rest on demos. In this lab we define a small set of representative tasks from your codebase, run them through several agents under identical conditions, and evaluate the results with a shared rubric. You leave with a documented comparison and a grounded recommendation for your stack and constraints.

Who it is for
- Tech leads and architects selecting tools
- Engineering managers planning a rollout
- Developers who want to understand tool differences first-hand
What your team will be able to do
- Define representative tasks and acceptance criteria for a fair test
- Run identical tasks across several agents under comparable conditions
- Score results on correctness, maintainability, effort and control
- Weigh security, privacy and cost factors in the decision
- Document a recommendation your team can defend
Agenda
- Evaluation designChoosing tasks from your backlog, defining success criteria and fixing the test conditions.
- Setup of the toolsPreparing the agents you want to compare, with identical project context where possible.
- Test runExecuting the tasks, recording prompts, iterations and time spent.
- Review with a rubricScoring diffs for correctness, readability, test coverage and risk, with the whole group.
- Non-functional factorsDiscussing data handling, permissions, integration options and licensing from a team perspective.
- Decision and next stepsSummarising findings into a recommendation and a pilot plan.
Prerequisites
- Developers with some experience of at least one coding agent
- Accounts or trial access for the tools to be compared
- Two or three real tasks from your backlog, which we help you select

Frequently asked questions
Which tools will be compared?
We agree on the shortlist with you beforehand, based on your needs and what is available to you.
Will the result be objective?
The method is transparent and based on your own tasks, but any comparison is a snapshot, since tools change quickly.
Can the results be reused?
Yes. You keep the task definitions, rubric and findings to repeat the test later.
