What you'll learn
Use synthetic data to catch failures before real users
Generate structured synthetic data to test edge cases, regressions, and weak spots before users ever see them.
Build an evaluation harness to test LLM apps pre-launch
Create a system that automates testing, validating outputs, and catching failures before deployment.
Create an eval-driven loop for reliable LLM development
Establish a process that continuously refines LLM behavior using systematic evaluations and feedback loops.
Why this topic matters
Most teams build LLM apps without knowing if they’ll work before real users interact with them. This lesson teaches you how to use synthetic data and evaluation-driven development to test and refine LLM systems before launch. We’ll work through a real case study, building an evaluation harness with code you can take with you, ensuring your apps are reliable before deployment.
