Thorough testing is crucial for building reliable AI phone agents. UponAI provides multiple testing methods, each designed to validate different aspects of your agent’s behavior and performance.

​
Available Testing Methods

1. LLM Playground

Purpose: Interactive text-based testing for rapid iteration and debugging.Key features: Real-time conversation testing, function call visualization, variable inspection, prompt debugging.Best for: Initial development, prompt refinement, debugging specific conversation paths.

2. LLM Simulation Testing

Purpose: Automated testing with predefined scenarios for consistent quality assurance.Key features: Batch testing, success metrics and scoring, scenario templates, regression testing.Best for: Quality assurance, regression testing, validating changes before deployment.

3. Web Call / Phone Call Testing

Purpose: Real-world testing with actual voice interactions to validate audio performance.Key features: Voice quality and latency testing, interruption handling, background noise, DTMF and telephony features.Best for: Final validation, voice quality testing, production readiness checks.

  • Debug function calling logic
  • Test edge cases interactively
  • Validate dynamic variables
2

Phase 2: Quality Assurance

Tool: LLM Simulation Testing
  • Create comprehensive test scenarios
  • Run regression tests after changes
  • Validate success metrics
  • Ensure consistent performance
3

Phase 3: Production Validation

Tool: Web / Phone Call Testing
  • Test actual voice interactions
  • Verify audio quality and latency
  • Check telephony features
  • Validate real-world performance
4

Phase 4: Continuous Testing

Tool: Batch Testing (Simulation)
  • Set up automated test suites
  • Monitor agent performance over time
  • Catch regressions early
  • Maintain quality standards
Create a test checklist covering all critical paths before each deployment. Include both happy paths and edge cases.
