cua-bench 0.2.7

Toolkit for computer-use RL environments and benchmarks

cua-bench

Framework for benchmarking Computer-Use Agents with verifiable cross-platform environments.

Documentation - Installation, guides, and API reference.

Running Tests

The test suite covers the core gym interface, worker system, and benchmark runners.

Install dev dependencies

uv pip install -e ".[dev,browser,server,rl]"

Note: The browser extra installs Playwright for e2e tests with the simulated provider.

Run all tests

uv run --with pytest pytest cua_bench/tests/ -v

Test Structure

Test Module	What it Tests	Approach
test_gym_interface.py	Core Environment API: make(), reset(), step(), evaluate()	E2E - Real simulated (Playwright) environments
test_worker_client.py	HTTP client for worker servers (CBEnvWorkerClient)	Mock server - Uses @patch("requests.post") to mock HTTP responses
test_worker_server.py	FastAPI endpoints and action serialization	Unit - Action serialize/deserialize, request models, simple endpoints
test_run_benchmark.py	run_benchmark(), run_single_task(), run_interactive()	E2E - Real simulated (Playwright) environments
test_worker_manager.py	Workers + dataloader training loop	E2E - Real workers, real envs, mock model for actions
test_actions.py	Action string parsing (repr_to_action())	Unit - Pure function tests

Test Approach Philosophy

• E2E tests use real simulated (Playwright) environments. The simulated provider is fast enough for testing.
• Mock server tests (test_worker_client.py) mock HTTP responses to test client logic in isolation.
• Mock model (test_worker_manager.py) uses a mock model that returns simple actions to test the dataloader training loop without requiring a real ML model.

Infrastructure Benchmarking

Measure the throughput of the worker infrastructure:

uv run python -m cua_bench.scripts.benchmark_workers --num_workers 16 --num_steps 10

Options:

Flag	Default	Description
--num_workers	16	Number of parallel workers
--num_steps	10	Steps per worker
--task_path	None	Path to task directory (creates temp if empty)

Output:

• Average reset time
• Average step time
• Average finish time
• Step throughput (steps/sec)
