New Copy-on-Write Scoring framework evaluates LLM agents in application workflows

Researchers have introduced Copy-on-Write (CoW) Scoring, a novel framework designed to evaluate the performance of LLM-based agents within specific application workflows. This method utilizes a PostgreSQL-level Copy-on-Write mechanism to isolate agent write operations, enabling granular scoring at the session and operation level. The framework aims to address limitations in existing evaluation methods, which often suffer from low construct validity and expensive, drift-prone replica environments. CoW Scoring was demonstrated on Plane, an open-source project-management platform, where it successfully identified issues in the tool surface and facilitated measurable improvements after corresponding fixes were implemented.

IMPACT Provides a more granular and cost-effective method for evaluating and iterating on LLM agents within specific application contexts.

    Copy-on-Write Scoring: Application-Specific Agent Evaluations

    arXiv:2607.14336v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Trustworthy deployment of LLM-based agents in software systems requires evaluating how they perform on application-specific workflows, with enough granularity to localize where they succeed and fail. Yet existing agent evaluation …
