When AI model providers update their systems, developers may encounter unexpected regressions in their applications, even if their prompts remain unchanged. A common issue is that a model's output might appear correct on a single test run but fail to accurately extract specific data points, such as legal terms from documents, over time or across different inputs. To address this, developers need robust testing strategies that go beyond simple output equality. These strategies should include a fixed dataset with ground truth values, field-level scoring to track accuracy for individual data points, repeated trials to account for probabilistic outputs, and confidence intervals to determine the statistical significance of accuracy changes between model versions.
