AI 应用测试策略详解
AI 应用的测试与传统软件有很大不同。如何测试 LLM 的不确定性输出？如何测试 Prompt 的效果？本文详解 AI 应用的完整测试策略。
一、测试挑战
1.1 AI 测试特点
AI 应用测试挑战：
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. 非确定性输出 │
│ - 相同输入可能有不同输出 │
│ - 难以编写精确断言 │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 2. 语义理解测试 │
│ - 需要评估语义准确性 │
│ - 传统字符串匹配不适用 │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 3. 上下文依赖 │
│ - 多轮对话依赖历史 │
│ - 测试状态管理复杂 │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 4. 成本与延迟 │
│ - API 调用成本高 │
│ - 测试执行时间长 │
