Evalite is a TypeScript testing framework for LLM-powered applications, designed for developers to efficiently validate their AI-driven features without requiring API keys for core functionality. It offers a streamlined approach to testing, enabling rapid iteration and reliable deployment of LLM integrations.

How It Works

Evalite leverages a local testing paradigm, allowing developers to run tests against their LLM applications directly. The framework focuses on type safety and provides a development server for real-time feedback, facilitating a robust testing workflow.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: pnpm install (in root)
• Run: pnpm run dev
• Prerequisites: Node.js, pnpm. An OpenAI API key is required for the example application (packages/example/.env).
• Setup: Requires running pnpm build in the root and npm link within packages/evalite for global command access.
