EvaluationEvaluating a gpt-realtime Voice Agent with Simulation
How we test a speech-to-speech debriefing agent end-to-end: a persona-driven simulated technician talks to the real gpt-realtime agent over a WebSocket, and binary judges plus outcome verification grade the result.

EvaluationSkill Evaluation with Microsoft Waza
A YAML-first, two-tier approach to evaluating AI skills: Waza validates trigger routing and output relevance at the skill layer, then implementation evals gate code quality — all in CI.

EvaluationBeyond 1–5 Scores: Binary Judges, Outcome Verification, and pass^k
Multi-point judge scales are subjective, transcript-only scoring misses system state, and a single trial can be a lucky run. Four changes that make agent evaluation trustworthy.

EvaluationHybrid Agent Evaluation: Custom Judges + Azure Foundry Evaluators
Why we combined domain-specific custom LLM judges with Azure Foundry's built-in agent evaluators over a REST API — getting behavior metrics and scenario-fact groundedness from C# without a Python dependency.

EvaluationEval-Driven Development: Red-Green-Refactor for AI Agents
Every agent change should be justified by a failing evaluation. A disciplined, TDD-style process for evolving AI agents without regressions.
