How to Add Evals to an LLM Feature

How to Add Evals to an LLM Feature

Short summary

A practical guide to instrumenting LLM features with evaluation suites, using an AI calling agent as a case study. Covers defining success criteria as business outcomes, curating representative test datasets from real transcripts, and mixing LLM-based judges (GPT-4o) with deterministic NLI scorers using the DeepEval framework. Includes concrete code examples for metric definitions and test case structures, emphasizing that evals are the spec for non-deterministic systems.

  • Define eval success criteria as business outcomes, not technical metrics
  • Curate representative test datasets covering real edge cases and failures
  • Mix LLM judges with deterministic NLI scorers to ground evaluations
  • Automate evals in CI using DeepEval framework with code examples

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
