Open-source (Apache 2.0) framework for evaluating LLM apps the way Pytest tests code — assertions backed by 50+ ready metrics spanning LLM-as-judge, RAG, agents, conversation, and safety. Plugs into LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents and more. Confident AI is the paid cloud platform that adds test management, dashboards, and observability on top.

Capabilities 2

What it actually does — grouped by capability family.

  • LLM evaluation (primary capability)
  • LLM observability (secondary capability)

Pros & cons

  • Assertions run in your CI pipeline
  • Metrics for RAG, agents, and safety
  • Bring any judge model (BYO key)
  • Integrates LangChain/CrewAI/OpenAI
  • LLM-as-judge adds cost
  • Dashboards need paid Confident AI
  • Judge metrics can be noisy

    Promptfoo

    LLM eval CLI with rubric scoring and golden sets.

    YAML-driven eval harness. Pair a prompt with a goldset, define rubrics, run across multiple models in CI. Strong for catching prompt regressions before they hit production.

    Ragas

    Exploding Gradients

    Evaluation toolkit for RAG and LLM applications.

    Open-source (Apache-2.0) Python framework for evaluating retrieval-augmented generation and LLM apps. Provides reference-free metrics — faithfulness, answer relevancy, context precision/recall — plus knowledge-graph-based synthetic test generation. Integrates with LangChain, LlamaIndex, and CI pipelines.

    Braintrust

    Hosted eval + tracing platform for LLM apps.

    Production-grade eval orchestration with a dashboard, dataset versioning, and OpenTelemetry tracing. Useful once eval volume outgrows a CI YAML file.

    LangChain

    LangChain's hosted observability + eval platform.

    Tracing, dataset management, eval orchestration, and prompt playground from the LangChain team. Pairs naturally if LangChain or LangGraph already runs in your stack, but works standalone via SDKs.
