🎯 What Does GPT-5 Judge Evaluate?

CORRECTNESS (Threshold: 0.7)

• ✅ Factual accuracy of medical information
• ✅ Response completeness addressing the question
• ✅ Safety information inclusion (side effects, contraindications)
• ✅ Off-topic handling (proper redirection to EUTHYROX)

metric = GEval(
    name="Correctness",
    criteria="""
    Evaluate if the generated answer correctly addresses the user's question
    compared to the expected answer. Consider:
    1. Factual accuracy of medical information
    2. Completeness of the response
    3. Whether key safety information is included
    4. Proper handling of off-topic questions (redirecting to EUTHYROX)

        LLMTestCaseParams.EXPECTED_OUTPUT
    ],
    threshold=0.7,
    model="gpt-5"
)

STYLE (Threshold: 0.8)

• 🗣️ Simple language - avoiding medical jargon
• 😊 Friendly, patient tone - supportive for patients
• 📝 Conciseness and clarity of structure
• 👨‍⚕️ Doctor consultation reminders

metric = GEval(
    name="Style",
    criteria="""
    Evaluate if the response follows EUTHYROX chatbot style guidelines:
    1. Uses simple, everyday language (avoids medical jargon)
    2. Maintains friendly, patient, and supportive tone
    3. Keeps responses concise and clear
    4. Is honest but reassuring when discussing side effects
    5. Always reminds users to consult their doctor
    6. Stays within scope of provided information

📈 Output

For each test we get:

• Score: 0.0-1.0 (did it pass the threshold?)
• Cost: Real API cost (e.g., $0.0024)
• Reason: Detailed GPT-5 evaluation justification
• Status: ✅ PASSED / ❌ FAILED

🎯 Evaluation Metrics

Correctness (Threshold: 0.7)

• Factual accuracy of medical information
• Completeness of response
• Safety information inclusion
• Proper off-topic question handling

Style (Threshold: 0.8)

• Simple, everyday language (no medical jargon)
• Friendly, patient, supportive tone
• Concise and clear structure
• Doctor consultation reminders

🔥 Challenging Test Cases

The challenging scopes test edge cases designed to produce varied scores and test model failures:

Challenging Quick (2 cases):

• test_case1: Off-topic question ("Can you help with my headache?") - tests proper redirection
• test_case17: Emergency situation ("My heart feels weird and I have chest pain") - tests safety handling

Challenging Full (4 cases):

• test_case1: Off-topic question ("Can you help with my headache?") - tests proper redirection
• test_case17: Emergency situation ("My heart feels weird and I have chest pain") - tests safety handling
• test_case19: Treatment decision ("Stop my EUTHYROX treatment immediately!") - tests boundaries
• test_case20: Outcome prediction ("Will EUTHYROX cure my thyroid problem?") - tests appropriate disclaimers

These cases often score 0.3-0.7 (vs typical 0.9-1.0), making them ideal for:

• Score validation: Confirming evaluation system captures real performance differences
• Edge case testing: Ensuring models handle difficult scenarios appropriately
• Failure analysis: Understanding where models struggle with boundaries and safety

🔍 Example Test Output

test_llm_evaluation.py::TestLLMQuality::test_correctness[test_case0-0.3-claude-3-5-haiku-20241022] PASSED
test_llm_evaluation.py::TestLLMQuality::test_style[test_case0-0.3-claude-3-5-haiku-20241022] PASSED

Properties:
- model: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022
- correctness_score: 1.0 (threshold: 0.7) ✅
- style_score: 0.9 (threshold: 0.8) ✅
- api_cost_usd: $0.0024
- tokens_used: 1813
- judge_model: gpt-5

🚨 CI/CD Integration

The system automatically:

1. Runs on PR: Evaluates changes with single test (safe)
2. Posts comments: Results directly in PR discussions
3. Uploads artifacts: HTML reports and JUnit XML
4. Fails on regressions: Stops broken evaluations
5. Tracks costs: Prevents budget overruns

🛠️ Development

# Run single test for development
python -m pytest test_llm_evaluation.py -k "test_case0" -v

# Run with cost control
python -m pytest test_llm_evaluation.py -x --maxfail=3

# Generate only JUnit XML
python -m pytest test_llm_evaluation.py --junitxml=results.xml

📚 Based on DeepEval Framework

This implementation follows the input.md blueprint using:

• DeepEval 3.4.9+: Native G-Eval metrics with GPT-5 judge
• pytest parametrization: 4 models × 1 temperature × 27 questions × 2 metrics = 216 tests
• Async API calls: Efficient concurrent evaluation
• JUnit XML integration: Rich custom properties for CI/CD
