Sessions
AI agents and multi-step workflows are powerful, but testing them can be tricky. This talk explores practical ways to test these complex systems — like running multi-step simulations, checking tool calls, and using LLMs for evaluation. You'll also learn how to prioritize what to test and set up session-level evaluations with open-source tools.
