UIBenchKit: A unified toolkit for design-to-code model evaluation
For researchers in automated web development, UIBenchKit solves the lack of a unified evaluation platform, enabling reproducible comparisons and accelerating progress.
UIBenchKit provides a standardized, open-source toolkit for evaluating design-to-code models, enabling fair comparison across methods. Benchmarking existing tools reveals key areas for future improvement.
Recent years have seen substantial progress in automated design-to-code generation, with many methods proposed for generating HTML and CSS from webpage screenshots. However, the absence of a standardized evaluation platform makes it difficult to compare these methods fairly, limiting both practical adoption and systematic research progress. To bridge this gap, we introduce UIBenchKit, an open-source, integrated toolkit designed to unify the evaluation of design-to-code tasks. UIBenchKit abstracts the complexities of environment setup, model inference, and code rendering, offering researchers a plug-and-play architecture to compare various methods under consistent settings. In addition, it offers an analytical interface for comparison across multiple metrics. Using UIBenchKit, we conduct a benchmarking study of existing tools and derive several findings that highlight directions for future improvement. By providing a streamlined environment for both experimentation and evaluation, UIBenchKit aims to accelerate future benchmarking and innovations in web engineering. The evaluation platform and toolkit are available at the project page https://www.uibenchkit.com/.
