LevelApp: AI/LLM Evaluation Framework for Regression Testing

Overview

LevelApp is an evaluation framework designed for regression testing (black-box) of already built LLM-based systems in production or testing phases. It focuses on assessing the performance and reliability of AI/LLM applications through simulation and comparison modules. Powered by Norma.

Key benefits:

• Configuration-driven: Minimal coding required; define evaluations via YAML files.
• Supports LLM-as-a-judge for qualitative assessments and quantitative metrics for metadata evaluation.
• Modular architecture for easy extension to new workflows, evaluators, and repositories.

Features

• Simulator Module: Evaluates dialogue systems by simulating conversations using predefined scripts. It uses an LLM as a judge to score replies against references and supports metrics (e.g., Exact, Embedded, Token-based, Fuzzy) for comparing extracted metadata to ground truth.
• Comparator Module: Evaluates metadata extraction from JSON outputs (e.g., from legal/financial document processing with LLMs) by comparing against reference/ground-truth data.
• Configuration-Based Workflow: Users provide YAML configs for endpoints, parameters, data sources, and metrics, reducing the need for custom code.
• Supported Workflows: SIMULATOR, COMPARATOR, ASSESSOR (coming soon!).
• Repositories: FIRESTORE, FILESYSTEM, MONGODB.
• Evaluators: JUDGE, REFERENCE, RAG.
• Metrics: Exact, Levenshtein, and more (see docs for full list).
• Data Sources: Local or remote JSON for conversation scripts.

Installation

Install LevelApp via pip:

pip install levelapp

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12 or higher.
• API keys for LLM providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) if using external clients—store in a .env file.
• Optional: Google Cloud credentials for Firestore repository.
• Dependencies are automatically installed, including openai, pydantic, numpy, etc. (see pyproject.toml for full list).

Configuration

LevelApp uses a YAML configuration file to define the evaluation setup. Create a workflow_config.yaml with the following structure:

process:
  project_name: "test-project"
  workflow_type: SIMULATOR # Pick one of the following workflows: SIMULATOR, COMPARATOR, ASSESSOR.
  evaluation_params:
    attempts: 1  # Add the number of simulation attempts.
    batch_size: 5

evaluation:
  evaluators: # Select from the following: JUDGE, REFERENCE, RAG.
    - JUDGE
    - REFERENCE
  providers:
    - openai
    - ionos
  metrics_map:
    field_1: EXACT
    field_2 : LEVENSHTEIN

reference_data:
  path: 
  data:

endpoint:
  base_url: "http://127.0.0.1:8000"
  url_path: ''
  api_key: "<API-KEY>"
  bearer_token: "<BEARER-TOKEN>"
  model_id: "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct"
  default_request_payload_template:
    # Change the user message field name only according to the request payload schema (example: 'prompt' to 'message').
    prompt: "${user_message}"
    details: "${request_payload}"  # Rest of the request payload data.
  default_response_payload_template:
    # Change the placeholder value only according to the response payload schema (example: ${agent_reply} to ${reply}).
    agent_reply: "${agent_reply}"
    generated_metadata: "${generated_metadata}"

repository:
  type: FIRESTORE # Pick one of the following: FIRESTORE, FILESYSTEM
  project_id: "(default)"
  database_name: ""

• Endpoint Configuration: Define how to interact with your LLM-based system (base URL, auth, payload templates).
• Placeholders: For the request payload, change the field names (e.g., 'prompt' to 'message') according to your API specs. For the response payload, change the place holders values (e.g., ${agent_reply} to ${generated_reply}).
• Secrets: Store API keys in .env and load via python-dotenv (e.g., API_KEY=your_key_here).

For conversation scripts (used in Simulator), provide a JSON file with this schema:

{
  "scripts": [
    {
      "interactions": [
        {
          "user_message": "Hello, I would like to book an appointment with a doctor.",
          "reference_reply": "Sure, I can help with that. Could you please specify the type of doctor you need to see?",
          "interaction_type": "initial",
          "reference_metadata": {},
          "guardrail_flag": false,
          "request_payload": {"user_id":  "0001", "user_role": "ADMIN"}
        },
        {
          "user_message": "I need to see a cardiologist.",
          "reference_reply": "When would you like to schedule your appointment?",
          "interaction_type": "intermediate",
          "reference_metadata": {},
          "guardrail_flag": false,
          "request_payload": {"user_id":  "0001", "user_role": "ADMIN"}
        },
        {
          "user_message": "I would like to book it for next Monday morning.",
          "reference_reply": "We have an available slot at 10 AM next Monday. Does that work for you?",
          "interaction_type": "intermediate",
          "reference_metadata": {
            "appointment_type": "Cardiology",
            "date": "next Monday",
            "time": "10 AM"
          },
          "guardrail_flag": false,
          "request_payload": {"user_id":  "0001", "user_role": "ADMIN"}
        },
        {
          "id": "f4f2dd35-71d7-4b75-ba2b-93a4f546004a",
          "user_message": "Yes, please book it for 10 AM then.",
          "reference_reply": "Your appointment with the cardiologist is booked for 10 AM next Monday. Is there anything else I can help you with?",
          "interaction_type": "final",
          "reference_metadata": {},
          "guardrail_flag": false,
          "request_payload": {"user_id":  "0001", "user_role": "ADMIN"}
        }
      ],
      "description": "A conversation about booking a doctor appointment.",
      "details": {
        "context": "Booking a doctor appointment"
      }
    }
  ]
}

• Fields: Include user messages, reference/references replies, metadata for comparison, guardrail flags, and request payloads.

In the .env you need to add the LLM providers credentials that will be used for the evaluation process.

Usage Example

To run an evaluation:

1. Prepare your YAML config and JSON data files.
2. Use the following Python script:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    from levelapp.workflow import WorkflowConfig
    from levelapp.core.session import EvaluationSession

    # Load configuration from YAML
    config = WorkflowConfig.load(path="../data/workflow_config.yaml")

    # Run evaluation session (You can enable/disable the monitoring aspect)
    with EvaluationSession(session_name="test-session-1", workflow_config=config, enable_monitoring=False) as session:
        session.run()
        results = session.workflow.collect_results()
        print("Results:", results)

    stats = session.get_stats()
    print(f"session stats:\n{stats}")

Alternatively, if you want to pass the configuration and reference data from in-memory variables, you can manually load the data like the following:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    from levelapp.workflow import WorkflowConfig
    from levelapp.core.session import EvaluationSession

    
    config_dict = {
        "process": {"project_name": "test-project", "workflow_type": "SIMULATOR", "evaluation_params": {"attempts": 2}},
        "evaluation": {"evaluators": ["JUDGE", "REFERENCE"], "providers": ["openai", "ionos"], "metrics_map": {"field_1": "EXACT"}},
        "reference_data": {"path": "", "data": {}},
        "endpoint": {"base_url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000", "api_key": "key", "model_id": "model"},
        "repository": {"type": "FIRESTORE", "source": "IN_MEMORY"},
    }

    content = {
        "scripts": [
            {
                "interactions": [
                    {
                        "user_message": "Hello!",
                        "reference_reply": "Hello, how can I help you!"
                    },
                    {
                        "user_message": "I need an apartment",
                        "reference_reply": "sorry, but I can only assist you with booking medical appointments."
                    },
                ]
            },
        ]
    }

    # Load configuration from a dict variable
    config = WorkflowConfig.from_dict(content=config_dict)

    # Load reference data from dict variable
    config.set_reference_data(content=content)

    evaluation_session = EvaluationSession(session_name="test-session-2", workflow_config=config)

    with evaluation_session as session:
        session.run()
        results = session.workflow.collect_results()
        print("Results:", results)

    stats = session.get_stats()
    print(f"session stats:\n{stats}")

• This loads the config, runs the specified workflow (e.g., Simulator), collects results, and prints stats.
