Tests
A test is an input or question used to evaluate how reliably, accurately, and safely an AI model responds. Use tests in the Workbench to prompt models, score responses, compare setups, and run panel evaluations.
What makes a good test
A strong test reflects situations your AI will face in production and checks whether it responds safely and correctly. Good tests:
- Use realistic scenarios from your industry or role
- Include pressure to cut corners, such as a user asking the AI to skip a disclosure or bend a rule
- Probe known risks, such as bias, false claims, data leakage, or telling users what they want to hear
- End with a clear question the AI must answer
