RAG Evaluation & Hallucination Test Kit
A practical evaluation framework for private RAG systems: grounded answers, citations, no-answer handling, stale documents, prompt injection, and access-control behavior.
Measure behavior
Do not rely on demos. Measure whether the system answers only from approved sources.
Inspect retrieval
Bad answers often come from bad retrieval, stale chunks, weak chunking, or missing reranking.
Test attacks
A serious RAG system needs prompt-injection, permission, and data-leakage tests.
Core test types
Grounded answer test
Ask questions where the answer exists in the retrieved documents. The response must cite the right source.
No-answer test
Ask questions that are not present in the documents. The model should say it does not know instead of guessing.
Conflicting-source test
Include documents with outdated or conflicting facts. The system must prefer the approved/current source.
Citation accuracy test
Verify that every cited source actually supports the answer sentence.
Prompt-injection test
Add malicious instructions inside documents and ensure the assistant follows system/developer policy, not document instructions.
Access-control test
Ask for information from collections the user should not access. The system should refuse or retrieve nothing.
