LLM Testing Strategies: Building Confidence in Non-Deterministic Systems

Introduction: LLM applications are notoriously hard to test. Outputs are non-deterministic, quality is subjective, and traditional unit testing doesn’t capture the nuances of language generation. Yet shipping untested LLM features is a recipe for embarrassing failures—hallucinations, off-brand responses, or security vulnerabilities. This guide covers practical testing strategies: deterministic unit tests for prompt templates, evaluation suites […]

Context Window Management: Maximizing LLM Input Utilization

Introduction: Context windows are the lifeblood of LLM applications—they determine how much information your model can process at once. Even with 128K+ token models, you’ll hit limits when dealing with long documents, conversation histories, or multi-document RAG. Poor context management leads to truncated information, lost context, and degraded responses. This guide covers practical strategies for […]
