Developer shares strategy for effective LLM test case generation

An LLM developer found that automatically generated test cases for their agent were largely ineffective due to a lack of rigorous filtering and a tendency for the generated tests to mimic the style of the generating model. To improve test quality, the developer implemented a multi-stage process that involves generating significantly more test cases than needed and then applying strict filters. These filters include checking for semantic duplicates, judging the real-world applicability and recoverability of expected answers, and ensuring the generated test set's diversity doesn't collapse into a single style, especially when using a different model family for judging than for generation. AI

IMPACT This approach could significantly improve the reliability and robustness of AI agents by ensuring more effective test coverage.

    How I generate LLM test cases that actually catch bugs

    <p>I got tired of hand-writing test cases for our agent, so I did the obvious 2026 thing: I pointed an LLM at our docs and asked it to generate them. In an afternoon I had a few thousand. I felt incredibly productive.</p> <p>They passed CI on every release. Production kept breaki…
