Test AI
AI testing services for LLM features, chatbots and agents
When a prompt, a model version or a retrieval index changes, you need to know what got worse before your users do. You get an evaluation dataset for your AI feature, a measured baseline of how it behaves today, and checks that run in your CI on every change.

What we test
Services in this area
-
AI agent testing
For agents and LLM workflows that call tools and take actions. Whole tasks are scored, step by step and by end state.
- Tool calls checked for name, arguments and order
- Side effects kept in a sandbox
-
AI chatbot testing
For support and sales assistants. Whole conversations are tested against your policies, your tone and the moment a person must take over.
- Multi-turn scenarios, not single prompts
- Prompt injection and misuse attempts
-
RAG evaluation
Retrieval quality measured apart from answer quality, so you know whether to fix the index or the prompt.
- Retrieval checked on a labelled question set
- Answer claims traced back to retrieved passages
- Behaviour when the answer is not in your documents
-
Regression baselines in CI
Every prompt, model or index change runs against the same dataset, and the pull request shows what moved.
- Versioned evaluation dataset in your repository
- Thresholds agreed with your product owner
- A scheduled run to catch model updates on the provider's side
Why an AI feature needs a different kind of testing
A conventional test sends an input and asserts one expected output. That breaks down on an LLM feature for three reasons.
- The output varies. The same input can produce different wording, and sometimes a different answer. An exact-match assertion either flakes or checks nothing useful.
- Quality moves without a code change. A new model version from the provider, an edited system prompt, a re-indexed knowledge base or a changed tool definition can each make the feature better on one task and worse on another.
- Failures rarely look like errors. There is no stack trace. There is a confident wrong answer, a tool called with the wrong argument, or a policy quoted that does not exist.
So the work is measurement: a dataset of the cases that matter to your business, a criterion for each, and a score you can compare from one change to the next.
What a dataset covers
| Area | Example checks |
|---|---|
| Correctness | The answer agrees with your source documents or a reference answer |
| Tool use | The right tool, with the right arguments, in the right order |
| Abuse and leakage | Prompt injection through user content; the system prompt or another user’s data showing up in an answer |
| Edges | Questions outside the feature’s scope, empty retrieval results, ambiguous requests |
| Cost and speed | Latency and token use per task, so a quality gain is not paid for silently |
Where the suite lives
The evaluation suite sits in your repository next to the feature. It runs as a CI job on every change to a prompt, a model setting or the retrieval index, and on a schedule to catch provider-side model updates. The pull request shows which cases got better, which got worse and whether an agreed threshold was crossed. Your engineers can run it locally, extend it and keep it after the engagement ends.
The detail differs by product. AI agent testing covers tool calls, multi-step tasks and side effects. AI chatbot testing covers conversations, policies and hand-off to a person.
How an engagement runs
Start small, with a fixed scope
Each step has a defined scope, duration and deliverables. You decide after each one whether to continue.
- Step 1 About one week
Evaluation baseline
One AI feature. We agree with your product owner what a good result is, build a first dataset of the cases that matter and measure the feature as it is today.
You get
- Report on what fails, how often and how much it matters
- First evaluation dataset, versioned in your repository
- A recommendation on which checks to automate first
- Step 2 Two to six weeks
Pilot
The baseline cases become an automated suite for that feature, run in your CI on every prompt, model or index change.
You get
- Evaluation suite and CI job in your repository
- Agreed pass thresholds, written down
- Handover session with your engineers
- Step 3 Monthly
Ongoing
Zapple.Tech engineers extend the suite to your next AI features and keep the dataset current as the product changes, either inside your team or as a dedicated team.
You get
- Dataset updated as features and policies change
- Evaluation results read before each release
- Monthly report on score trends per feature
FAQ
Questions buyers ask
How is this different from ordinary test automation?
An ordinary test asserts one exact output. LLM output varies between runs, so an evaluation scores many runs against criteria, tracks the scores over time and flags a regression when a change makes them worse. The deterministic parts around the model, such as API contracts and tool integrations, still get ordinary automated tests.
What do you need from us to start?
Access to the AI feature in a test environment, a product owner who can say what a good answer looks like, and, if you have them, examples of real conversations or tasks with personal data removed. For the one-week baseline, that is the full list.
Which page fits our product?
If your feature calls tools or changes data, start with AI agent testing. If customers talk to it, start with AI chatbot testing. If it answers from your documents, the baseline measures retrieval as well as the answers. Not sure? Describe the feature in the form and we say which baseline fits.
Does our data leave our environment?
The evaluation calls your feature in your test environment. If a judge model is used to score answers, which provider it runs on and what it may see is agreed with you before the baseline starts.
How long until we have numbers?
The baseline report arrives at the end of the first week. An automated suite in your CI follows in the pilot, which runs two to six weeks depending on how many task types the feature has.
Who does the work?
Zapple.Tech QA engineers. An evaluation suite is test code, so it is built, reviewed and kept in CI the way the company builds test automation. The founders of the company are also the founders of Testomat.io and Testomat.ai.
How much does it cost?
Prices are not published. The quote depends mainly on how many distinct tasks the feature handles and whether labelled examples already exist. Describe the feature and you get a scoped quote within one business day.
