Agent Testing Framework

5-Layer Testing Approach

Layer 1: Output Quality (Unit-Level)

Validate agent produces correct, well-structured outputs for typical inputs.

Test: Agent follows workflow phases | Outputs match expected format/structure | Domain-specific rules correctly applied | Token efficiency within bounds

How: Manual invocation with representative inputs. Check against acceptance criteria in agent description.

Layer 2: Integration / Handoff Validation

Validate correct input/output between agents in workflows.

Test: Input parsing handles upstream format | Output format matches downstream expectations | Error signals propagate correctly | Subagent mode activation works (skip greet, execute autonomously)

How: End-to-end workflow execution through full agent chain (e.g., DISCUSS -> DESIGN -> DELIVER).
