Testing AI Applications with Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation for Reliable Software
Introduction to AI Evaluation in Software Development Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how software is created. Developers use AI to build smarter applications that can learn and adapt. However, AI can sometimes give unexpected or incorrect answers. This makes it important to check if AI applications work as expected. Evaluation tools help measure how well AI performs and if its results can be trusted. What Are AI Evaluations? AI evaluations, often called "evals," are tests designed to measure the quality of AI systems. They provide a clear and organized way to see if an AI application gives correct answers or achieves the right outcomes. Without evaluation, developers cannot be sure their AI is reliable or safe to use in real situations. The Role of Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation Microsoft has introduced a tool named Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation. This tool helps developers test their AI models within their software projects. It offers a struct...
