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

  },
])

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

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

FixtureRecorder

interface FixtureRecorder {
  wrap(provider: MockProvider): MockProvider
  getEntries(): FixtureEntry[]

  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' }] })

| Type | Description | |---|---| | called | Tool was called (optionally N times) | | not_called | Tool was never called | | called_with | Tool was called with matching args (partial match by default) | | called_in_order | Tools were called as a subsequence in the given order | | all_succeeded | Every tool call returned success: true | | none_failed | Alias for all_succeeded | | call_count | Total calls within min/max range | | no_repeated_calls | No tool was called more than once (optionally scoped to one name) | | custom | Custom function (calls) => boolean |

toolCallsToEvalCriteria(assertions, calls)

Bridge tool assertions into EvalCriterion[] for use with runEvalSuite.

import { toolCallsToEvalCriteria, runEvalSuite } from '@elsium-ai/testing'

const criteria = toolCallsToEvalCriteria(
  [{ type: 'called', name: 'search' }],
  agentResult.toolCalls,
)
// Use as additional criteria in an eval suite

Multi-Turn Conversation Testing

Run scripted multi-turn conversations against an agent and assert on each turn.

runConversation(config)

Parameters:

| Param | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | config | ConversationScenarioConfig | Scenario configuration |

Returns: Promise<ConversationResult>

import { runConversation, formatConversationReport } from '@elsium-ai/testing'
import { defineAgent } from '@elsium-ai/agents'

const agent = defineAgent({ name: 'assistant', system: '...' }, deps)

const result = await runConversation({
  name: 'booking-flow',
  turns: [
    {
      role: 'user',
      content: 'Book a flight to Tokyo',
      name: 'initial-request',
      assertions: [
        { type: 'tool_called', name: 'searchFlights' },
        { type: 'response_contains', value: 'Tokyo' },
      ],
    },
    {
      role: 'user',
      content: 'Pick the cheapest one',
      assertions: [
        { type: 'tool_called', name: 'bookFlight' },
        { type: 'max_iterations', value: 3 },
      ],
    },
    {
      role: 'user',
      content: (history) => `Confirm booking for ${history[1].output.slice(0, 20)}`,
      name: 'confirmation',
      assertions: [
        { type: 'response_matches', pattern: 'confirmed|booked' },
      ],
    },
  ],
  runner: (messages) => agent.chat(messages),

console.log(formatConversationReport(result))

Turn Assertion Types

| Type | Description | |---|---| | response_contains | Response text includes value (case-insensitive) | | response_not_contains | Response text does not include value | | response_matches | Response matches regex pattern | | tool_called | Named tool was called (optionally N times) | | tool_not_called | Named tool was not called | | tool_args_match | Named tool was called with matching args (partial) | | max_iterations | Agent completed in at most N iterations | | max_latency_ms | Turn completed within N milliseconds | | custom | Custom function (turnResult) => boolean |

Dynamic Turns

Turn content can be a function that receives previous turn results, enabling reactive scenarios:

{
  role: 'user',
  content: (history) => {
    if (history[0].output.includes('clarify')) {
      return 'I meant the weather in London, UK'
    }
    return 'Thanks!'
  },
}

replayFrom — time-travel replay with overrides

The debugger workflow that AI frameworks have been missing: a production run failed at step N → grab the trace → replay it locally from step N with prompt overrides → fix verified in seconds. createTraceRecorder captures every step; replayFrom re-feeds steps before fromStep from the recording and runs the rest live with optional overrides.

import { createTraceRecorder, replayFrom } from '@elsium-ai/testing'

// 1. Record a live run
const rec = createTraceRecorder({ agentId: 'invoice-extractor' })
rec.recordStep({ key: 'classify', input: raw, output: 'invoice', durationMs: 50 })
rec.recordStep({ key: 'extract',  input: raw, output: { total: 1234 }, durationMs: 80 })
rec.recordStep({ key: 'validate', input: { total: 1234 }, output: { ok: true } })
const trace = rec.finish()
// Persist trace.id + trace.steps to your DB / S3

// 2. Later — replay from a failing step with a prompt override
const result = await replayFrom(trace, {
  fromStep: 'extract',          // or numeric index
  executor: async ({ key, input, originalStep }) => {
    // Steps at or after fromStep run live (your real LLM/tool call)
    return runStepLive(key, input)
  },
  overrides: {
    extract:  { kind: 'transform', input: (i) => `${i} [v2 prompt]` },
    validate: { kind: 'replace', output: { ok: 'forced' } },
  },
})

// result.steps[i].source ∈ 'replay' | 'live'
// result.steps[i].overridden ∈ true | false
// result.finalOutput

Override variants:

• { kind: 'replace', output } — skip the executor entirely and substitute output (counterfactual exploration).
• { kind: 'transform', input?, output? } — rewrite the input handed to the executor and/or post-process its output (prompt overrides + audit-friendly transforms).

fromStep accepts a numeric index or a string key (the key you passed to recordStep). Out-of-range / unknown-key throw VALIDATION_ERROR upfront.
