Learn how to optimize AI agents through structured evaluation that transforms guesswork into evidence-based engineering decisions. You'll explore how to design evaluation experiments with clear metrics for quality, cost, and performance; organize experiments using Git-based workflows; create evaluation rubrics for consistent scoring; and compare results to make informed optimization decisions.

Learning objectives

In this module, you:

  • Design evaluation experiments with clear metrics for quality, cost, and performance
  • Apply Git-based workflows to organize and compare agent variants systematically
  • Create evaluation rubrics that ensure consistent scoring across human evaluators
  • Compare experiment results to make evidence-based optimization decisions

Prerequisites

Before starting this module, you should have:

  • Basic understanding of AI agents and large language models
  • Familiarity with Git version control workflows
  • Experience with Microsoft Azure AI Foundry or similar AI development platforms
