This article details a method for evaluating the Qwen coding agent's performance in a read-only mode before granting it write access to a codebase. The author proposes a procedure involving an isolated set of tasks, where the agent's proposed code changes (diffs) are manually reviewed. This approach aims to determine the usefulness of the agent's suggestions without risking unintended modifications to the actual code. The article also touches upon Qwen Code's various approval modes and authentication protocols, suggesting that the same agent can be tested with different backends like OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and DeepSeek for a comprehensive evaluation. AI
