RAG Testing Checklist for Enterprise AI

This checklist gives you a high‑level structure for testing RAG systems before production. It’s not exhaustive, but it covers the most important dimensions to validate.

• Retrieval – precision/recall, coverage of key topics, robustness to query wording.
• Generation – answer accuracy, citation correctness, style, and tone.
• Safety – harmful content, data leakage, policy violations.
• Performance – latency, throughput, cost per query.
• Monitoring – dashboards, alerts, feedback loops, and drift detection.

For more narrative guidance on how to apply this in practice, see the RAG Systems pillar page.
