Evaluating SAP Joule for Code Generation

SAP has released its own proprietary generative model SAP Joule, intended for various generative tasks, including serving as a code assistant for software engineers. While Joule is yet not focused on SAP-specific ABAP code generation, it can be used for other common languages, including Javascript. This paper compares SAP Joules Javascript coding capabilities against a total of 29 other models using the HumanEval-X Javascript benchmark. SAP Joule achieves a strict accuracy of 80.49% as the fifth best model in our evaluation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comparative evaluation of SAP Joule code generation capabilities.
