This makes it challenging to ship reliable applications to production, where repeatable, useful outcomes across diverse inputs are a minimum requirement. Tests help demonstrate each component in an LLM application can produce the required or expected functionality. These tests also safeguard against regressions while you improve interconnected pieces of an integrated system. However, measuring the quality of generated text can be challenging. It can be hard to agree on the right set of metrics for your application, and it can be difficult to translate those into better performance. Furthermore, it's common to lack sufficient evaluation data to adequately test the range of inputs and expected outputs for each component when you're just getting started. The LangChain community is building open source tools and guides to help address these challenges.LangChain exposes different types of evaluators for common types of evaluation. Each type has off-the-shelf implementations you can use to get started, as well as an
