What Is Agent Evaluation? A Practical Guide for AI Teams - Agent evaluation tests whether an AI agent reliably completes tasks across real inputs, edge cases, and new versions by scoring not just final outputs but multi-step behavior via black-box, trajectory, and component-level evaluations, using metrics like task completion rate, tool selection accuracy, unsupported-claim rate, latency/cost per step, and regression pass rate. PromptLayer offers tracing with span-level context, reusable datasets, batch evaluations, backtesting, regression testing, automated evaluation triggers on new prompt versions, and flexible pipelines including code execution, human input, conversation simulation, regex checks, and LLM assertions.
