A developer has implemented an "eval-gated" release process for their Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) copilot project, Atlas, treating quality and cost metrics like unit tests for code. This system blocks merge requests if they show regressions in faithfulness, citation accuracy, or cost, ensuring that changes are data-driven rather than based on subjective evaluation. The developer advocates for starting with basic golden questions and adversarial prompts in a CI job, emphasizing that applying established software engineering testing principles to AI systems is crucial for maintaining quality and defensible decision-making. AI
