Confident
DeepEval package for unit testing LLMs. Using Confident, everyone can build robust language models through faster iterations using both unit testing and integration testing. We provide support for each step in the iteration from synthetic data creation to testing.
In this guide we will demonstrate how to test and measure LLMs in performance. We show how you can use our callback to measure performance and how you can define your own metric and log them into our dashboard.
DeepEval also offers:
- How to generate synthetic data
- How to measure performance
- A dashboard to monitor and review results over time
Installation and Setup
%pip install --upgrade --quiet langchain langchain-openai deepeval langchain-chroma
Getting API Credentials
To get the DeepEval API credentials, follow the next steps:
- Go to https://app.confident-ai.com
- Click on "Organization"
- Copy the API Key.
When you log in, you will also be asked to set the implementation name. The implementation name is required to describe the type of implementation. (Think of what you want to call your project. We recommend making it descriptive.)
!deepeval login
Setup DeepEval
You can, by default, use the DeepEvalCallbackHandler to set up the metrics you want to track. However, this has limited support for metrics at the moment (more to be added soon). It currently supports:
from deepeval.metrics.answer_relevancy import AnswerRelevancy
# Here we want to make sure the answer is minimally relevant
answer_relevancy_metric = AnswerRelevancy(minimum_score=0.5)
Get Started
To use the DeepEvalCallbackHandler, we need the implementation_name.
from langchain_community.callbacks.confident_callback import DeepEvalCallbackHandler
deepeval_callback = DeepEvalCallbackHandler(
implementation_name="langchainQuickstart", metrics=[answer_relevancy_metric]
)

Scenario 1: Feeding into LLM
You can then feed it into your LLM with OpenAI.
from langchain_openai import OpenAI
llm = OpenAI(
temperature=0,
callbacks=[deepeval_callback],
verbose=True,
openai_api_key="<YOUR_API_KEY>",
)
output = llm.generate(
[
"What is the best evaluation tool out there? (no bias at all)",
]
)
API Reference:

You can then check the metric if it was successful by calling the is_successful() method.
answer_relevancy_metric.is_successful()
# returns True/False
Once you have ran that, you should be able to see our dashboard below.
Scenario 2: Tracking an LLM in a chain without callbacks
To track an LLM in a chain without callbacks, you can plug into it at the end.
We can start by defining a simple chain as shown below.
import requests
from langchain.chains import RetrievalQA
from langchain_chroma import Chroma
from langchain_community.document_loaders import TextLoader
from langchain_openai import OpenAI, OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain_text_splitters import CharacterTextSplitter
text_file_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hwchase17/chat-your-data/master/state_of_the_union.txt"
openai_api_key = "sk-XXX"
with open("state_of_the_union.txt", "w") as f:
response = requests.get(text_file_url)
f.write(response.text)
loader = TextLoader("state_of_the_union.txt")
documents = loader.load()
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0)
texts = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings(openai_api_key=openai_api_key)
docsearch = Chroma.from_documents(texts, embeddings)
qa = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(
llm=OpenAI(openai_api_key=openai_api_key),
chain_type="stuff",
retriever=docsearch.as_retriever(),
)
# Providing a new question-answering pipeline
query = "Who is the president?"
result = qa.run(query)
After defining a chain, you can then manually check for answer similarity.
answer_relevancy_metric.measure(result, query)
answer_relevancy_metric.is_successful()
What's next?
You can create your own custom metrics here.
DeepEval also offers other features such as being able to automatically create unit tests, tests for hallucination.
