Open-source LLM eval framework

What it's used for

DeepEval is used to unit-test LLM applications with metrics like faithfulness, answer relevancy, hallucination detection, contextual recall, and toxicity. It integrates with pytest so you can add LLM evaluation to your existing CI/CD pipeline and catch regressions before deployment.

Getting started

Install with `pip install deepeval` and set your OPENAI_API_KEY (used for metric computation). Write test files using `assert_test()` with test cases and metrics like `FaithfulnessMetric()` or `AnswerRelevancyMetric()`. Run with `deepeval test run test_file.py` or standard pytest to get pass/fail results with explanations.

67% fewer user issues Developer Tools

800-Test Eval Suite — 67% Fewer User-Reported Issues

200k-user AI coding tool

Challenge

A popular AI coding tool was shipping regressions to 200k users because their LLM quality checks were ad-hoc and manual. User-reported quality issues were their top support category.

Solution

Built an 800-case Deepeval test suite covering correctness, coherence, toxicity, PII leakage, and brand voice. Integrated into CI/CD with automatic blocking on quality regression. Added weekly eval reports to engineering standup.

Results

Critical bugs caught before release increased 4x. User-reported quality issues per release dropped 67%. The engineering team now ships with confidence — one eval run replaced three days of manual QA.

2 critical failures caught pre-launch AI Startup

Series A Technical Diligence — 2 Critical Failures Caught

AI startup, pre-Series A

Challenge

A pre-Series A AI startup needed to demonstrate production-ready quality to investors. Their informal evaluation process hadn't caught two critical safety and accuracy failures that would have been discovered in diligence.

Solution

Built a 500-case Deepeval harness covering factuality (measured vs ground truth), safety (toxic outputs, jailbreak attempts), calibration (confidence vs accuracy), and instruction following. Ran against all 3 candidate models.

Results

Caught 2 critical failures: a safety bypass in Model A and systematic hallucination on out-of-distribution inputs in Model B. Fixed before investor demo. Eval suite adopted as the company's permanent quality gate. Series A closed at $8M.
