Best Practices for Auto QA Configuration

The following table describes the best practices that are based on by Question metrics.

Category Best Practices
General Configuration Principles
  • Maintain diversity and realism in metric configurations.
  • Ensure configurations reflect plausible agent responses.
  • Review and update configurations to reflect current use cases regularly.
Sentence Length and Complexity
  • Limit configurations to concise utterances, typically 1-3 sentences.
  • Avoid configuring very long sentences or extensive text passages.
Handling Specific Identifiers Company and Brand Names
  • Include when necessary, but be aware they can impact semantic adherence.
  • Implement moderate thresholds (for example, 50-60% match) to accommodate variations Agent Names.
    • Minimize the use of specific agent names in configurations.
    • Use [Agent Name] as a placeholder where the agent references themself or any other agents Product Names and Model IDs.
      • Avoid including specific model identifiers unless necessary.
      • If included, expect precise usage in agent responses.
      • Implement moderate thresholds (for example, 50-60% match) for these configurations.
Threshold Recommendations
  • General configurations: 60-70% match.
  • Configurations with company/brand names for policy: 70-80% match.
  • Configurations with product specifics: 50-60% match.
    Note: Adjust these thresholds based on your specific use case and requirements.
Testing and Validation
  • Validate configurations against real agent responses.
  • Monitor and analyze adherence rates to identify optimization areas for reconfiguration.
