Most teams "evaluate" an LLM application by eyeballing a few outputs or trusting one dashboard score. Then a prompt tweak, a model upgrade or a retrieval change quietly breaks production. LLM Evaluation & AI Quality Engineering shows you a better way: AI quality is an engineering lifecycle, not a single evaluation score. You will learn to Define, Measure, Evaluate, Diagnose, Improve, Regression Test, Release, Monitor and Learn, and to treat every measurement as evidence, not truth.
What you will build and learn
- A vendor-neutral Python evaluation package you own, backed by a free public companion repository with 119 automated tests
- Quality objectives, golden datasets, error analysis and failure taxonomies
- Deterministic code evaluators, metrics and rubrics, human annotation with Cohen's kappa and Krippendorff's alpha
- LLM-as-a-judge evaluators you have actually validated, with TPR/TNR meta-evaluation
- Statistics for non-deterministic systems: Wilson confidence intervals, bootstrap, McNemar paired comparison, sample size, pass@k and pass^k
- RAG evaluation: recall@k, precision@k, MRR, nDCG, groundedness, citation validity and retrieval-vs-generation attribution
- AI agent evaluation: sandboxed outcome checks, trajectory and tool-use evaluation, reliability
- Safety and red teaming: prompt injection, canaries, refusal and over-refusal, mapped to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025
- Evaluation-driven development, regression suites for model migration, and cost, latency and reliability trade-offs
- AI quality gates in CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and production observability with OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions, drift detection and triage
Who this book is for
QA engineers, SDETs and test leads moving into AI quality; AI/ML engineers who own LLM, RAG or agent features; and technical leads who sign off AI releases. You need intermediate Python, basic pytest and Git.
Why this book is different
Written by a software QA professional, it turns evaluation results into release decisions you can defend. DeepEval, Ragas, Inspect AI, Arize Phoenix, MLflow, Langfuse, LangSmith and Promptfoo are compared fairly, but you are never locked into a vendor. The final part shows how to run an AI quality engineering programme: RACI, release sign-off, a maturity model, and a practical mapping to NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001.
23 chapters, 5 parts, 21 figures, 24 tables and 10 appendices. Part of the author's AI Quality Engineering series. Pair it with AI Testing with Python for foundations and RAG in Production for building the systems you will evaluate.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
