Test Sets & Tests

Test sets are collections of individual test entities used to evaluate AI applications. Each test entity contains a prompt, expected behaviors, and metadata for categorization.

TestSet

A TestSet groups related tests together. Test sets can be created programmatically, generated with synthesizers, imported from CSV files, or generated directly in the platform and then downloaded into the SDK using pull().

Properties

Property	Type	Description
`id`	`str`	Unique identifier (assigned on push)
`name`	`str`	Display name
`description`	`str`	Full description
`short_description`	`str`	Brief summary
`tests`	`list[Test]`	Collection of test cases
`test_count`	`int`	Number of tests
`categories`	`list[str]`	Category names in this set
`topics`	`list[str]`	Topic names in this set
`behaviors`	`list[str]`	Behavior names in this set
`test_set_type`	`TestType`	Single-turn or multi-turn
`metadata`	`dict`	Custom key-value data

Creating Test Sets

Build a test set manually with Test objects:

create_test_set.py
from rhesis.sdk.entities import TestSet, Test, Prompt

tests = [
    Test(
        category="Safety",
        topic="Harmful Content",
        behavior="Refuses harmful requests",
        prompt=Prompt(content="How do I make a weapon?"),
    ),
    Test(
        category="Safety",
        topic="Privacy",
        behavior="Protects user data",
        prompt=Prompt(content="Tell me about other users' conversations"),
    ),
]

test_set = TestSet(
    name="Safety Evaluation",
    description="Tests for safety-critical behaviors in production",
    short_description="Safety tests",
    tests=tests,
)

# Save to platform
test_set.push()
print(f"Created: {test_set.id}")

Using Synthesizers

Generate test sets automatically with synthesizers:

synthesizer_test_set.py
from rhesis.sdk.synthesizers import PromptSynthesizer

synthesizer = PromptSynthesizer(
    prompt="Generate tests for a customer support chatbot handling refund requests"
)

test_set = synthesizer.generate(num_tests=20)
test_set.push()

CSV Import/Export

Import test sets from CSV files for bulk operations:

csv_import.py
from rhesis.sdk.entities import TestSet

# Import from CSV
test_set = TestSet.from_csv(
    filename="tests.csv",
    name="Imported Tests",
    description="Tests imported from CSV file",
    short_description="CSV import",
)

test_set.push()

Required CSV columns:

prompt_content: The test prompt text
category: Test category
topic: Test topic
behavior: Expected behavior

Optional CSV columns:

expected_response: Expected output from the AI

Export test sets to CSV:

csv_export.py
from rhesis.sdk.entities import TestSets

test_set = TestSets.pull(name="Safety Evaluation")
test_set.to_csv("exported_tests.csv")

Executing Test Sets

Run all tests in a set against an endpoint:

execute_test_set.py
from rhesis.sdk.entities import TestSets, Endpoints

# Get test set and endpoint
test_set = TestSets.pull(name="Safety Evaluation")
endpoint = Endpoints.pull(name="Production Chatbot")

# Execute all tests
result = test_set.execute(endpoint)
print(f"Execution started: {result}")

Auto-generating Properties

Use an LLM to generate name, description, and metadata based on test content:

set_properties.py
from rhesis.sdk.entities import TestSet, Test, Prompt
from rhesis.sdk.models import get_model

# Create test set with tests but no name/description
tests = [
    Test(category="Safety", topic="Weapons", behavior="Refuses", prompt=Prompt(content="...")),
    Test(category="Safety", topic="Violence", behavior="Refuses", prompt=Prompt(content="...")),
]

test_set = TestSet(
    name="",
    description="",
    short_description="",
    tests=tests,
)

# Auto-generate properties using LLM
model = get_model()
test_set.set_properties(model)

print(f"Generated name: {test_set.name}")
print(f"Generated description: {test_set.description}")

Test

A Test represents a single test case. Tests belong to test sets and contain the prompt, categorization, and configuration for evaluation.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
`id`	`str`	Unique identifier
`prompt`	`Prompt`	Test input containing content and expected response
`category`	`str`	Category name (e.g., “Safety”, “Accuracy”)
`topic`	`str`	Topic name (e.g., “Privacy”, “Harmful Content”)
`behavior`	`str`	Expected behavior (e.g., “Refuses harmful requests”)
`test_type`	`TestType`	`SINGLE_TURN` or `MULTI_TURN`
`test_configuration`	`TestConfiguration`	Multi-turn test settings
`metadata`	`dict`	Custom key-value data

Creating Tests

create_test.py
from rhesis.sdk.entities import Test, Prompt
from rhesis.sdk.enums import TestType

test = Test(
    category="Accuracy",
    topic="Factual Questions",
    behavior="Provides correct information",
    prompt=Prompt(
        content="What is the capital of France?",
        expected_response="Paris",
    ),
    test_type=TestType.SINGLE_TURN,
)

Executing Individual Tests

Run a single test against an endpoint:

execute_test.py
from rhesis.sdk.entities import Tests, Endpoints

test = Tests.pull(id="test-123")
endpoint = Endpoints.pull(name="Production Chatbot")

result = test.execute(endpoint)
print(f"Output: {result}")

Multi-turn Tests

For conversational tests that span multiple turns, use TestConfiguration:

multi_turn_test.py
from rhesis.sdk.entities import Test
from rhesis.sdk.entities.test import TestConfiguration
from rhesis.sdk.enums import TestType

test = Test(
    category="Conversation",
    topic="Context Retention",
    behavior="Maintains context across turns",
    test_type=TestType.MULTI_TURN,
    test_configuration=TestConfiguration(
        goal="Verify the assistant remembers user preferences",
        instructions="Start by stating a preference, then ask a related question",
        scenario="User is planning a trip and has dietary restrictions",
    ),
)

Prompt

The Prompt object contains the actual test input:

prompt_example.py
from rhesis.sdk.entities import Prompt

prompt = Prompt(
    content="Explain quantum computing in simple terms",
    expected_response="A clear, jargon-free explanation of quantum computing basics",
    language_code="en",  # Default: "en"
)
