How to test AI agent edge cases

A friendly demo proves little; the test set should exercise uncertainty and broken dependencies.

  1. 01

    Build a representative set

    Include normal, empty, ambiguous, stale, conflicting and adversarial cases.

  2. 02

    Observe the path

    Score tool choice, evidence, retries and stop behaviour, not only prose.

  3. 03

    Keep regressions

    Save every important failure as a permanent test case.
