Definition
What belongs in Agent Testing & QA?
This category covers testing and quality-assurance systems in which agents are active test authors, operators, evaluators, or debugging participants.
Includes systems where agents actively author, execute, adapt, evaluate, or diagnose tests and produce reviewable artifacts such as traces, screenshots, or reproducible steps.
Scope
Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Include when
- An agent can author, execute, adapt, or diagnose tests through a documented interface.
- The product preserves evidence such as steps, traces, screenshots, or reproducible results.
- Agent-driven QA is central to the product rather than a generic automation claim.
Exclude when
- It is a conventional test runner that an agent can merely invoke.
- It evaluates model output but provides no material agent or agent-builder workflow.
Selection guide
How to compare these tools
- What can the agent author, execute, and repair?
- Which artifacts make a result reviewable?
- How are flaky tests, changed interfaces, and failed runs handled?
Typical use cases
- Generate and maintain tests as interfaces change
- Run multi-step tests and capture reviewable evidence
- Diagnose failures and repair broken tests

- LangSmith application-specific evaluation approaches
LangSmith documents final-response, single-step, and trajectory evaluation as distinct, complementary ways to test agent behaviour.
