Modular INtelligent Evaluation for a Reliable Voice Assistant

Neon Minerva

Neon Minerva (Modular INtelligent Evaluation for a Reliable Voice Assistant) provides tools for testing skills.

Install the Minerva Python package with: pip install neon-minerva The minerva entrypoint is available to interact with a bus via CLI. Help is available via minerva --help.

Installation

Since skill intents may use Padatious, the following system packages must be installed before installing this package:

sudo apt install swig libfann-dev

To install this package from PyPI, simply run:

pip install neon-minerva

Usage

This package provides a CLI for local testing of skills. Skills installed with pip can be specified by entrypoint, or skills cloned locally can be specified by root directory.

Resource Tests

To test that skill resources are defined for all supported languages, minerva test-resources <skill-entrypoint> <test-file>

• <skill-entrypoint> is the string entrypoint for the skill to test as specified in setup.py OR the path to the skill's root directory
• <test-file> is a relative or absolute path to the resource test file, usually test_resources.yaml

Intent Tests

To test that skill intents match as expected for all supported languages, minerva test-intents <skill-entrypoint> <test-file>

• <skill-entrypoint> is the string entrypoint for the skill to test as specified in setup.py OR the path to the skill's root directory
• <test-file> is a relative or absolute path to the resource test file, usually test_intents.yaml
• The --padacioso flag can be added to test with Padacioso instead of Padatious for relevant intents

Advanced Usage

In addition to convenient CLI methods, this package also provides test cases that may be extended.

Skill Unit Tests

neon_minerva.tests.skill_unit_test_base provides SkillTestCase, a class that supplies boilerplate setup/teardown/mocking for testing a skill. An example skill test implementation could look like:

from os import environ
from neon_minerva.tests.skill_unit_test_base import SkillTestCase

environ['TEST_SKILL_ENTRYPOINT'] = "my_skill.test"

class MySkillTest(SkillTestCase):
    def test_skill_init(self):
        self.assertEqual(self.skill.skill_id, "my_skill.test")
    ...

Be sure to review the base class for mocked methods and test paths as these may change in the future.
