Testing Strategies - Agent Governance SDK

Testing AI agents with governance monitoring requires a multi-layered approach that covers functionality, compliance, performance, and integration. This guide provides practical testing strategies for banking and financial services applications.

Testing Philosophy

Effective testing for AI agent governance systems should be:

Comprehensive: Cover all aspects from unit tests to end-to-end scenarios
Compliance-Focused: Ensure regulatory requirements are met
Performance-Aware: Validate system behavior under load
Data-Driven: Use realistic banking scenarios and customer data
Automated: Enable continuous integration and deployment

Test Environment Setup

Basic Test Configuration

// test-setup.js
import { AgentMonitor } from '@agent-governance/node';

// Test configuration with isolated settings
const createTestMonitor = (overrides = {}) => {
  return new AgentMonitor({
    apiKey: process.env.TEST_AGENT_GOVERNANCE_API_KEY || 'test-api-key',
    organizationId: process.env.TEST_AGENT_GOVERNANCE_ORG_ID || 'test-org',
    endpoint: process.env.TEST_ENDPOINT || 'http://localhost:3001',
    environment: 'testing',
    enableComplianceChecks: true,
    enableLogging: false, // Reduce noise in tests
    batchSize: 1, // Immediate flushing for predictable test behavior
    flushInterval: 100,
    retryAttempts: 1, // Fail fast in tests
    retryDelay: 10,
    ...overrides
  });
};

// Test agent configuration
const createTestAgent = (overrides = {}) => ({
  id: 'test-agent-' + Date.now(),
  name: 'Test Banking Agent',
  category: 'tool_calling',
  specialty: 'personal_banking',
  version: '1.0.0',
  llmProvider: 'anthropic',
  model: 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022',
  description: 'Test agent for banking operations',
  complianceSettings: {
    sr11_7_enabled: true,
    fair_lending_monitoring: true,
    bsa_aml_checks: true
  },
  ...overrides
});

// Test data generators
const generateTestSession = () => `test-session-${Date.now()}-${Math.random().toString(36).slice(2)}`;
const generateTestUser = () => `test-user-${Date.now()}`;

module.exports = {
  createTestMonitor,
  createTestAgent,
  generateTestSession,
  generateTestUser
};

Test Database Setup

// test-database.js
class TestDatabase {
  constructor() {
    this.events = [];
    this.violations = [];
    this.agents = [];
  }

  // Mock database operations for testing
  async saveEvent(event) {
    this.events.push({ ...event, id: this.events.length + 1 });
  }

  async saveViolation(violation) {
    this.violations.push({ ...violation, id: this.violations.length + 1 });
  }

  async getEventsForSession(sessionId) {
    return this.events.filter(e => e.sessionId === sessionId);
  }

  async getViolationsForAgent(agentId) {
    return this.violations.filter(v => v.agentId === agentId);
  }

  async clear() {
    this.events = [];
    this.violations = [];
    this.agents = [];
  }

  // Test utilities
  getEventCount() {
    return this.events.length;
  }

  getViolationCount() {
    return this.violations.length;
  }
}

module.exports = { TestDatabase };
