agent-evaluation
Framework for testing LLM agents across behavioral, capability, and reliability dimensions with production-focused evaluation patterns.
- Covers five core evaluation areas: agent testing, benchmark design, capability assessment, reliability metrics, and regression testing
- Emphasizes statistical test evaluation (multiple runs with distribution analysis) and behavioral contract testing over single-run or string-matching approaches
- Includes adversarial testing patterns and guards against common pitfalls like benchmark overfitting, flaky tests, and data leakage
- Designed to catch production failures that benchmarks miss, recognizing that LLM agent evaluation requires non-deterministic result handling

Sharp Edges
Agent scores well on benchmarks but fails in production
Severity: HIGH
Situation: High benchmark scores don't predict real-world performance
Symptoms:
- High benchmark scores, low user satisfaction
- Production errors not seen in testing
- Performance degrades under real load
Why this breaks: Benchmarks have known answer patterns. Production has long-tail edge cases. User inputs are messier than test data.
Recommended fix:
// Bridge benchmark and production evaluation
class ProductionReadinessEvaluator { async evaluateForProduction( agent: Agent, benchmarkResults: BenchmarkResults, productionSamples: ProductionSample[] ): Promise { const gaps: ProductionGap[] = [];

Same test passes sometimes, fails other times
Severity: HIGH
Situation: Test suite is unreliable, CI is broken or ignored
Symptoms:
- CI randomly fails
- Tests pass locally, fail in CI
- Re-running fixes test failures
Why this breaks: LLM outputs are stochastic. Tests expect deterministic behavior. No retry or statistical handling.
Recommended fix:
// Handle flaky tests in LLM agent evaluation

Agent optimized for metric, not actual task
Severity: MEDIUM
Situation: Agent scores well on metric but quality is poor
Symptoms:
- Metric scores high but users complain
- Agent behavior feels "off" despite good scores
- Gaming becomes obvious when metric changed
Why this breaks: Metrics are proxies for quality. Agents can game specific metrics. Overfitting to evaluation criteria.
Recommended fix:

Test data accidentally used in training or prompts
Severity: CRITICAL
Situation: Agent has seen test examples, artificially inflating scores
Symptoms:
- Perfect scores on specific tests
- Score drops on new test versions
- Agent "knows" answers it shouldn't
Why this breaks: Test data in fine-tuning dataset. Examples in system prompt. RAG retrieves test documents.
