Evaluation dataset

Definition

An evaluation dataset is a versioned set of inputs, and often expected outputs, used to test an AI agent before a release, usually built from real production traces and known failures.

In more detail

Turning a bad production trace into a dataset case means that failure is checked on every future change.

Definitions are the start.

Open a real trace and watch these terms move.
