Evaluation-Driven Development Workflow
Traditional AI development is reactive—you build, deploy, and hope for the best. HoneyHive enables a systematic Evaluation-Driven Development (EDD) approach, similar to Test-Driven Development in software engineering, where evaluation guides every stage of your AI agent lifecycle.1
Production: Observe and Evaluate Agents
Deploy your AI application with distributed tracing to capture every interaction. Collect real-world traces, user feedback, and quality metrics from production. Run online evals to identify edge cases and evaluate quality at scale. Set up alerts to monitor critical failures or metric drift over time.
- Traces
- Agent Graphs
- Threads
- Timeline View
- Dashboard
- Alerts

Testing: Curate Datasets & Run Experiments
Transform failing traces from production into curated datasets. Run comprehensive experiments to quantify performance and track regressions as you make changes, using our SDK.
- Experiments
- Datasets
- Regression Tests
- LLM Evaluators
- Code Evaluators
- Annotation Queues

Development: Iterate & Refine Prompts
Use evaluation results to guide improvements. Iterate on prompts, fine-tune models, and optimize your AI application based on data-driven insights. Test changes against your curated datasets before deploying to production.

Repeat: Continuous Improvement
Deploy improvements to production and continue the cycle. Each iteration builds on data-driven insights, creating a flywheel of continuous improvement that ensures your AI systems become more reliable over time..png)
