AI Eval Regression Debug Workflow

Use this workflow when candidate prompts underperform baseline runs or pass-rates suddenly decline.

Workflow Focus

  • Baseline-candidate delta diagnostics
  • Prompt version drift detection
  • Deterministic regression suite generation
  • Final release-gate risk decisioning

Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. 1. Compare eval outputs

    Identify score and pass-rate regressions between baseline and candidate.

    Clear delta map of improved and degraded behaviors.

    Open Eval Results Comparator
  2. 2. Inspect prompt version drift

    Review how revisions changed constraints and behavior over time.

    Snapshot-level root-cause candidates for regressions.

    Open Prompt Versioning + Regression Dashboard
  3. 3. Build deterministic regression suite

    Generate repeatable tests targeting regression-sensitive cases.

    Reproducible QA suite for fixing and retesting.

    Open Prompt Regression Suite Builder
  4. 4. Regenerate focused test records

    Expand edge-case coverage where deltas are most severe.

    Higher-confidence regression verification set.

    Open Prompt Test Case Generator
  5. 5. Finalize risk decision

    Aggregate quality, policy, replay, and eval signals for release gating.

    Deterministic Block/Review/Ship outcome with actions.

FAQ

What is the fastest way to isolate regression root cause?

Start with eval delta comparison, then inspect version drift and rerun targeted deterministic regression suites.

Should release be blocked on any major negative delta?

For critical flows, yes. Large negative deltas should trigger deeper review and retest before promotion to production.
