How deeply does Building Reliable AI Systems cover test?

Prioritizes coordination checks across blended queries, ambiguous intent, failures, and state continuity.

Test

As explained in Building Reliable AI Systems

Testing is the systematic execution of queries or other inputs to assess a software system's behavior and identify defects.

A multi-agent workflow needs coordination checks, not just tests of individual agents. Validate routing, shared context, and graceful behavior when components fail. section 8.4

Check the workflow against scenarios that expose coordination problems:

Blended queries and ambiguous intent. section 8.4
Component failures and continuity of shared state. section 8.4
