What should a test set include?
Representative tasks, edge cases, adversarial cases, and risk-tagged examples.
How big should it be?
Start small (50–200), then grow based on failures and new use-cases.
How do we keep it current?
Add cases from real failures, incidents, and user feedback loops.
What’s a common failure mode?
A test set that doesn’t reflect production usage or risk distribution.
What’s the first improvement?
Create a “gold set” for your top 3 tasks and add rubrics.
