Semantic testing framework for LLM applications

llm_app_test

A semantic testing framework for LLM applications that uses LLMs to validate semantic equivalence in test outputs.

✨ Test your LLM apps in minutes, not hours

🚀 CI/CD ready out of the box

💰 Cost-effective testing solution

🔧 No infrastructure needed

Important note: This is still being tested prior to release on PyPI, please refer to the branch: feat/find-a-way-to-break-this and look in the tests directory to see where we're at on the dumbest edge cases (e.g. 100 emojis).

What llm_app_test Does

• Tests LLM applications (not the LLMs themselves)
• Validates system message + prompt template outputs
• Ensures semantic equivalence of responses
• Tests the parts YOU control in your LLM application

What llm_app_test Doesn't Do

• Test LLM model performance (that's the provider's responsibility)
• Validate base model capabilities
• Test model reliability
• Handle model safety features

Screenshots

What if you could just use:

semantic_assert.assert_semantic_match(
        actual=actual_output,
        expected_behavior=expected_behavior
    )

and get a pass/fail to test your LLM apps? Well, that's what I'm trying to do. Anyway, seeing is believing so:

Here's llm_app_test passing a test case:

Here's llm_app_test failing a test case (and providing the reason why it failed):

Finally, here's llm_app_test passing a test case with a complex reasoning chain with the simple, natural language instruction of:

A complex, multi-step, scientific explanation.
Must maintain logical consistency across all steps.

Why llm_app_test?

Testing LLM applications is challenging because:

• Outputs are non-deterministic
• Semantic meaning matters more than exact matches
• Traditional testing approaches don't work well
• Integration into CI/CD pipelines is complex

llm_app_test solves these challenges by:

• Using LLMs to evaluate semantic equivalence
• Providing a clean, maintainable testing framework
• Offering simple CI/CD integration
• Supporting multiple LLM providers

When to Use llm_app_test

• Testing application-level LLM integration
• Validating prompt engineering
• Testing system message effectiveness
• Ensuring consistent response patterns

When Not to Use llm_app_test

• Testing base LLM performance
• Evaluating model capabilities
• Testing model safety features

Quick Example

from llm_app_test.semanticassert.semantic_assert import SemanticAssertion

semantic_assert = SemanticAssertion() 
semantic_assert.assert_semantic_match(actual="Hello Alice, how are you?", 
                                      expected_behavior="A polite greeting addressing Alice" 
                                      )

Contributing

This project is at an early stage and aims to be an important testing library for LLM applications.

Want to contribute? Great! Some areas we're looking for help:

• Additional LLM provider support
• Performance optimizations
• Test coverage improvements
• Documentation
• CI/CD integration examples
• Test result caching
• Literally anything else you can think of, I'm all out of ideas, I'm not even sure starting this project was a smart one.

Please:

1. Fork the repository
2. Create a feature branch
3. Submit a Pull Request

For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change, or YOLO in a PR, bonus points if you can insult me in a way that makes me laugh.

Please adhere to clean code principles and include appropriate tests... or else. 🗡️
