에이전트 테스트가 다른 이유

소프트웨어 테스트와 에이전트 테스트

비결정성: 같은 입력, 다른 출력

import openai

client = openai.OpenAI(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY')

# Same prompt, potentially different outputs each run
for i in range(3):
    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model='gpt-4o-mini',
        messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Name a planet.'}],
        temperature=0.9  # High randomness
    )
    print(f'Run {i+1}: {response.choices[0].message.content}')
# Run 1: Mars
# Run 2: Jupiter
# Run 3: Saturn

비용 문제: 실제 LLM 호출은 비쌉니다

# A test that calls the real API costs tokens every run
# 100 tests x 500 tokens each x 10 CI runs/day = 500,000 tokens/day
# At $0.15/1M tokens (gpt-4o-mini): ~$0.075/day = ~$27/year for a tiny suite
# For gpt-4o: 15x more expensive = ~$400/year

# This is why mocking and recording API responses is essential
print('Real API calls in tests = expensive and slow')
print('Solution: Mock or record LLM responses in unit tests')
print('Reserve real calls for scheduled integration tests')

지연 시간 문제

import time

# Simulating what a test suite looks like with real vs mocked calls
num_tests = 50

# Real API calls
real_time = num_tests * 5  # avg 5 seconds per call
print(f'With real API calls: {real_time}s = {real_time/60:.1f} minutes')

# Mocked calls
mock_time = num_tests * 0.001  # <1ms per mock
print(f'With mocked calls: {mock_time:.3f}s = nearly instant')

# Conclusion: mock in unit tests, use real calls in integration tests

에이전트 테스트의 외부 종속성

# An agent might call multiple external services
# Each is a potential test failure point

def agent_pipeline(query: str) -> str:
    search_results = search_web(query)       # External: Tavily/Serper API
    documents = fetch_documents(search_results)  # External: HTTP calls
    answer = llm_summarize(documents)        # External: OpenAI API
    saved = database_store(answer)           # External: PostgreSQL
    return answer

# In unit tests: mock ALL of these
# In integration tests: use sandboxed versions of real services
print('Each external call is a test reliability risk')

일반 단위 테스트의 가정

# Standard unit test — works perfectly for deterministic code
def add(a, b):
    return a + b

def test_add():
    assert add(2, 3) == 5  # Always passes — deterministic

# Agent 'unit test' that calls a real LLM — problematic
# def test_agent_answers_question():
#     response = agent.run('What is 2+2?')
#     assert response == '4'  # Might return 'The answer is 4' or 'Four'

print('Exact string matching fails for LLM outputs')
print('Need structural or semantic assertions instead')

에이전트를 위한 테스트 피라미드

구조적 검증과 의미적 검증

# Fragile: exact string match
# assert response.content == 'The capital of France is Paris.'

# Better: structural assertion
# assert response.tool_calls[0]['function']['name'] == 'search_web'

# Better: semantic check
def test_capital_in_response(response_text: str) -> bool:
    key_words = ['paris', 'france', 'capital']
    lower = response_text.lower()
    return all(word in lower for word in key_words)

response = 'Paris is the capital city of France.'
print(test_capital_in_response(response))  # True
