Mock Provider

Create a mock LLMProvider that returns pre-configured responses without making real API calls.

MockResponseConfig

interface MockResponseConfig {
  content?: string
  toolCalls?: Array<{
    id?: string
    name: string
    arguments: Record<string, unknown>
  }>
  stopReason?: 'end_turn' | 'tool_use' | 'max_tokens' | 'stop_sequence'
  usage?: Partial<TokenUsage>
  model?: string
  delay?: number
}

MockProviderOptions

interface MockProviderOptions {
  responses?: MockResponseConfig[]
  defaultResponse?: MockResponseConfig
  onRequest?: (request: CompletionRequest) => void
}
Field Description
responses Ordered list of responses returned sequentially per call
defaultResponse Fallback response used when responses is exhausted
onRequest Callback invoked on every request (useful for assertions)

MockProvider

interface MockProvider extends LLMProvider {
  readonly calls: CompletionRequest[]
  readonly callCount: number
  reset(): void
}

Extends the standard LLMProvider interface with inspection helpers. calls stores every CompletionRequest received, callCount returns the total, and reset() clears both the call log and the response index.

mockProvider()

Creates a mock provider instance.

function mockProvider(options?: MockProviderOptions): MockProvider
Parameter Type Default Description
options MockProviderOptions {} Configuration for responses and callbacks

Returns: MockProvider

import { mockProvider } from '@elsium-ai/testing'

const mock = mockProvider({
  responses: [
    { content: 'Hello!' },
    { content: 'Goodbye!', stopReason: 'end_turn' },
  ],
  defaultResponse: { content: 'Default reply' },
  onRequest: (req) => console.log('Model:', req.model),
})

const first = await mock.complete({ messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hi' }] })
// first.message.content === 'Hello!'

console.log(mock.callCount) // 1
mock.reset()
console.log(mock.callCount) // 0

Fixture

interface Fixture {
  readonly name: string
  readonly entries: FixtureEntry[]
  toProvider(options?: { matching?: 'sequential' | 'request-hash' }): MockProvider
  toJSON(): string
}
Method Description
toProvider() Converts the fixture into a MockProvider. Pass { matching: 'request-hash' } to match responses by message content hash instead of sequential order.
toJSON() Serializes the fixture (with timestamps) to a JSON string.

function createFixture(name: string, entries: FixtureEntry[]): Fixture
Parameter Type Description
name string Human-readable fixture name
entries FixtureEntry[] Array of request/response pairs

    response: { content: 'Hi there!' },
  },
])

const provider = fixture.toProvider()
const res = await provider.complete({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }],
})
// res.message.content === 'Hi there!'

loadFixture()

Deserializes a JSON string back into a Fixture.

function loadFixture(json: string): Fixture
Parameter Type Description
json string JSON string previously produced by fixture.toJSON()

Returns: Fixture

import { createFixture, loadFixture } from '@elsium-ai/testing'

const original = createFixture('test', [
  {
    request: { messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'ping' }] },
    response: { content: 'pong' },
  },
])

const json = original.toJSON()
const restored = loadFixture(json)
// restored.name === 'test'

FixtureRecorder

interface FixtureRecorder {
  wrap(provider: MockProvider): MockProvider
  getEntries(): FixtureEntry[]
  toFixture(name: string): Fixture
  clear(): void
}

createRecorder()

Creates a recorder that intercepts complete() calls and captures request/response pairs.

function createRecorder(): FixtureRecorder

Returns: FixtureRecorder

import { mockProvider, createRecorder } from '@elsium-ai/testing'

const recorder = createRecorder()
const mock = mockProvider({ responses: [{ content: 'recorded response' }] })
const wrapped = recorder.wrap(mock)

await wrapped.complete({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'capture this' }],
})

Replay

Record raw CompletionRequest / LLMResponse pairs and replay them deterministically in tests.

ReplayEntry

interface ReplayEntry {
  request: CompletionRequest
  response: LLMResponse
  timestamp: number
}

ReplayRecorder

interface ReplayRecorder {
  wrap(
    completeFn: (req: CompletionRequest) => Promise<LLMResponse>,
  ): (req: CompletionRequest) => Promise<LLMResponse>
  getEntries(): ReplayEntry[]
  toJSON(): string
  clear(): void
}

createReplayRecorder()

Creates a recorder that wraps a completion function and captures every request/response pair.

function createReplayRecorder(): ReplayRecorder

Returns: ReplayRecorder

import { createReplayRecorder } from '@elsium-ai/testing'

const recorder = createReplayRecorder()
const wrappedComplete = recorder.wrap(provider.complete.bind(provider))

// Use wrappedComplete in place of provider.complete — all calls are recorded
const response = await wrappedComplete({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }],
})

// Save for later replay
const json = recorder.toJSON()

ReplayPlayer

interface ReplayPlayer {
  complete(request: CompletionRequest): Promise<LLMResponse>
  readonly remaining: number
}

createReplayPlayer()

Creates a player that replays recorded responses sequentially, regardless of the incoming request.

function createReplayPlayer(entriesOrJson: ReplayEntry[] | string): ReplayPlayer
Parameter Type Description
entriesOrJson ReplayEntry[] | string An array of replay entries, or a JSON string produced by recorder.toJSON()

Returns: ReplayPlayer

Throws an error with the message 'Replay exhausted: no more recorded responses' if complete() is called after all entries have been consumed.

import { createReplayRecorder, createReplayPlayer } from '@elsium-ai/testing'

// Record
const recorder = createReplayRecorder()
const wrapped = recorder.wrap(provider.complete.bind(provider))
await wrapped({ messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hi' }] })

// Replay
const player = createReplayPlayer(recorder.getEntries())
console.log(player.remaining) // 1

const replayed = await player.complete({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hi' }],
})
console.log(player.remaining) // 0

Replay — audit-grade (signed)

HMAC-SHA256 hash-chained replay: a tampered or reordered entry detaches the chain. The secret lives outside the file (env / secret manager) — a replay file without its secret is just data; with the secret it is evidence.

createSignedReplayRecorder(config: { secret: string }): SignedReplayRecorder

Like createReplayRecorder, but each entry is signed against the previous signature. export() returns a SignedReplayFile ({ apiVersion: 'elsium.replay/v1'; algorithm: 'hmac-sha256'; entries }); toJSON() / clear() behave as usual. Throws if secret is shorter than 16 characters.

verifyReplay(fileOrJson: SignedReplayFile | string, secret: string): Promise<ReplayVerification>

Re-derives the chain and returns { valid, entryCount, invalidAtIndex?, reason? }, pinpointing the first tampered entry.

createSignedReplayPlayer(fileOrJson: SignedReplayFile | string, options: { secret: string; strict?: boolean }): Promise<SignedReplayPlayer>

Verifies before playback; with strict (default true) it throws when verification fails. Exposes complete(request), remaining, and the verification result.

Replay — streaming

createStreamReplayRecorder(): StreamReplayRecorder
createStreamReplayPlayer(entriesOrJson: readonly StreamReplayEntry[] | string): StreamReplayPlayer

Record and replay StreamEvent sequences (token-level streaming) instead of single complete() responses, so streaming tests stay deterministic. The recorder’s wrap(streamFn) captures each AsyncIterable<StreamEvent> once it is fully consumed; the player’s stream(request) replays recorded sequences in order and exposes remaining.

import { createPinStore, pinOutput } from '@elsium-ai/testing'

const store = createPinStore()

const result = await pinOutput(
  'greeting-pin',
  store,
  async () => 'Hello, world!',

Evals are proof, not opinion

Three capabilities answer the three questions a third party asks about an eval — trust the judge (Judge Alignment), trust the result (Eval Proofs), and trust the data (Dataset Provenance).

Judge Alignment

Measure whether an LLM-judge can be trusted against human ground truth.

computeJudgeAlignment(pairs: AlignmentPair[], options?: { threshold?: number }): JudgeAlignmentResult

Pure comparison of human vs judge scores. AlignmentPair is { human: number; judge: number } (scores 0..1); threshold (default 0.5) is the pass/fail cutoff. Returns agreementRate, cohenKappa, meanAbsoluteError, pearson, a confusion matrix ({ truePos, trueNeg, falsePos, falseNeg }), and a Landis–Koch strength label ('poor' | 'fair' | 'moderate' | 'substantial' | 'almost-perfect'). Throws if pairs is empty.

runJudgeAlignment(cases: LabeledJudgeCase[], scorer: JudgeScorer, options?): Promise<JudgeAlignmentResult & { pairs: AlignmentPair[] }>

Runs a scorer ((output, input?) => Promise<number> | number) over human-labeled cases ({ output: string; input?: string; humanScore: number }) and reports alignment. Plugs directly into createRubricJudge(...).evaluate:

const alignment = await runJudgeAlignment(
  cases,
  async (output) => (await judge.evaluate(output)).score,
)
assessJudgeConsistency(scorer: () => Promise<number> | number, options?: { runs?: number; tolerance?: number }): Promise<JudgeConsistencyResult>

Re-runs the judge on the same input N times (default runs: 5) and measures self-disagreement. Returns mean, stdDev, min, max, range, scores, and consistent (true when range <= tolerance, default 0.1).

Eval Proofs (Ed25519)

proveEvalSuite(result: EvalSuiteResult, options: { signer: Signer; suiteId?: string; clock?: () => number }): Promise<ExecutionProof>

Signs an eval suite as an Ed25519 ExecutionProof (from @elsium-ai/observe); each case becomes a hash-chained event and the chain head is signed once.

verifyEvalProof(proof: ExecutionProof, registry: KeyRegistry): VerifyProofResult

Verifies offline against trusted public keys — no shared secret needed. The elsium verify CLI verifies the same proof.

Contrast with attestEvalSuite (HMAC-SHA256), which proves integrity only to whoever holds the shared secret. Caveat: the proof path reuses the @elsium-ai/observe proof recorder, which depends on node:crypto — it runs on Node and Bun, not edge runtimes. For edge, use attestEvalSuite.

Dataset Provenance

summarizeAnnotations(cases: AnnotatedCase[], options?: { threshold?: number; disputeBelow?: number }): DatasetAnnotationReport

Summarizes multi-annotator labels. AnnotatedCase is { name; input?; annotations: Annotation[] }; Annotation is { annotator; label: number | string; at?; confidence? }. Returns per-case goldLabel + agreement, overallAgreement, disputedCases (agreement below disputeBelow, default 0.8), and fleissKappa. fleissKappa is null unless the rater count is uniform across all cases (≥ 2 raters). Throws if cases is empty or any case has no annotations.

hashDataset(dataset: EvalDataset): Promise<string>
createDatasetManifest(dataset: EvalDataset): Promise<DatasetManifest>

Deterministic, order-independent SHA-256 content hash of a dataset (cases canonicalized and sorted by name). createDatasetManifest wraps it as { name; version?; caseCount; contentHash } — embed contentHash in an eval proof to pin the exact dataset a run scored against.


Datasets

loadDataset

loadDataset(path: string, options?: DatasetLoaderOptions): Promise<EvalDataset>

Loads eval cases from .json, .csv, or .jsonl by file extension (throws on anything else). loadDatasetFromJSON and loadDatasetFromCSV are also exported directly with the same signature. EvalDataset is { name; version?; cases: EvalCase[] } — feed cases straight into runEvalSuite.

DatasetLoaderOptions remaps source fields/columns onto EvalCase:

Field Default Maps to
inputField'input'input
expectedField'expected'expected
nameField'name'name
tagsField'tags'tags (comma-split string or array)

JSON files may be a bare array of records or { name, version?, cases }.


Classification Metrics

runClassificationEval

runClassificationEval(config: ClassificationEvalConfig): Promise<ClassificationEvalResult>

Runs a classifier runner over labeled cases and scores the predictions.

Field Type Description
namestringSuite name
casesClassificationEvalCase[]{ name?; input; expected }
runner(input: string) => Promise<string>Classifier
labelsstring[]?Fixed label set (otherwise inferred from cases and sorted)
concurrencynumber?Parallel execution (default: 1)

Returns ClassificationEvalResult ({ name; report; predictions; durationMs }).

computeClassificationReport / computeConfusionMatrix

computeClassificationReport(cases: ClassificationCase[], options?: { labels?: string[] }): ClassificationReport
computeConfusionMatrix(cases: ClassificationCase[], options?: { labels?: string[] }): ConfusionMatrix

Pure functions over ClassificationCase[] ({ name?; predicted; actual }). ClassificationReport carries accuracy, per-label precision/recall/f1/support, macro/micro/weighted averages, and the confusion matrix (rows = actual, cols = predicted). formatClassificationReport and formatConfusionMatrix render them as text.


RAG Eval

runRagEval

runRagEval(config: RagEvalConfig): Promise<RagEvalResult>

Scores retrieval-augmented answers on up to four metrics. RagEvalConfig is { name; cases: RagEvalCase[]; judge?; concurrency? }; each RagEvalCase is { name?; question; answer; contexts; relevant? }.

  • With a judge (LLMJudge): faithfulness (every claim grounded in context) and answer relevancy (answer addresses the question).
  • With relevant ground-truth contexts: context precision (rank-weighted) and context recall — pure, no judge needed.

Per-case score averages whichever metrics applied; aggregate (RagEvalAggregate) means each metric across the suite. The metric functions (faithfulness, answerRelevancy, contextPrecision, contextRecall) are exported individually, and formatRagEvalReport renders the result.


Eval Gates & Compliance

runEvalGate

runEvalGate(suite: EvalSuiteResult, config: EvalGateConfig, override?: AttestedOverride): EvalGateResult

Treats an eval suite as a policy gate — each case is checked against governance assertions and/or a PolicySet.

Field Type Description
namestringGate name
assertionsGovernanceAssertion[]?{ name; description?; controls?; assert(result) => boolean }
policySetPolicySet?Policy set from @elsium-ai/core
contextFor(result) => PolicyContextMaps a case to policy context (default derives from output/score)

EvalGateResult reports passed, violationCount, and per-case violations. An AttestedOverride ({ approver; reason; approvedAt? }) flips passed to true while recording who approved it (only retained when there were violations). toAttestedGovernance(gate) converts the result for embedding in an attestation.

buildEvalComplianceReport

buildEvalComplianceReport(gate: EvalGateResult, config: EvalGateConfig, options?: { framework?: string; controls?: string[] }): EvalComplianceReport

Rolls gate violations up by the controls declared on each assertion (e.g. SOC 2 / ISO control IDs). Returns { framework?; compliant; controls; unmappedViolations }, where compliant requires every control to pass and zero violations unmapped to any control. formatEvalComplianceReport renders it.


Eval Attestation

attestEvalSuite

attestEvalSuite(result: EvalSuiteResult, options: AttestEvalOptions): Promise<EvalAttestation>

Produces an HMAC-SHA256 hash-chained attestation of an eval run: each case becomes a signed AttestationRecord (hashed input/output, score, per-criterion pass/fail) chained to the previous signature. AttestEvalOptions is { secret; metadata?; governance?; attestedAt? } — secret must be ≥ 16 chars, metadata pins fields like model/judge/datasetVersion/promptVersion/seed, and governance embeds an AttestedGovernance gate result.

verifyEvalAttestation(fileOrJson: EvalAttestation | string, secret: string): Promise<AttestationVerification>

Re-derives the chain and returns { valid, entryCount, invalidAtIndex?, reason? }, pinpointing the first tampered record. formatAttestation renders a summary.

Contrast with proveEvalSuite (Ed25519, third-party-verifiable). attestEvalSuite proves integrity only to a holder of the shared secret, but runs on any runtime — it does not depend on node:crypto.
