30 Real Business Workflow Tests: Keep Agent Evaluation Simple
VibeMarketer_ · x · 2026-10-08
The author argues that testing agents doesn't require complex frameworks: give the agent a real business input, have it complete a concrete task, and check whether the output holds up. He offers 30 ready-to-use test workflows across six categories:
- Customer research: e.g., "interview transcript → recurring questions + supporting quotes," "reviews → switch triggers tied to raw evidence"
- Positioning and pricing: e.g., "landing page + evidence → claims audit flagging unsupported statements"
- Account intelligence: e.g., "company site → account brief + cited facts + problem hypotheses," "careers page snapshots over time → hiring changes worth investigating"
- Sales prep: e.g., "competitor materials → battlecard + applicability conditions + phrases to avoid"
- Content and publishing, measurement and learning: e.g., "funnel export → conversion arithmetic + churn points worth investigating," "unvalidated hypothesis → experiment + metrics + decision rules"
Each is a concrete "input → expected output" spec that can be used directly to evaluate an agent's reliability in real work.
