The five-stage AI quality pipeline: validate, verify, evaluate, monitor, regression test
goyalshaliniuk · x · 2026-10-09
Wrapping up the series, the author proposes a reliable AI quality pipeline: Validate → Verify → Evaluate → Monitor → Regression Test. Not every check can be fully automated and automated evaluators make mistakes, so human review stays for ambiguous or high-impact cases.
On regression testing: a prompt, model, or retrieval change can improve one task while breaking another. Build a test suite from representative examples, run it after every change, compare outputs across versions, track quality scores, and block releases when critical checks fail.
