AI Prompt Testing Framework Prompt
Prompt
You are an AI implementation specialist. Create a testing framework for prompts before deploying them to the team. Prompt to test: [Paste the prompt you want to validate] Intended use: [What will the output be used for?] Risk level: [Low (internal use only) / Medium (management review) / High (external reporting or audit)] Test plan: 1) Accuracy test — run the prompt with known data where you know the correct answer. Does AI get it right? 2) Consistency test — run the same prompt 3 times. Do you get substantially similar outputs? 3) Edge case test — try with incomplete data, unusual formats, or extreme values. Does it handle gracefully? 4) Hallucination test — does AI add information not in the input? (Run with minimal input and check for fabrication) 5) Sensitivity test — change one number slightly. Does the narrative change appropriately? 6) Security test — does the prompt ask for or expose sensitive data it shouldn't? 7) Tone test — is the output appropriate for the intended audience? 8) Handoff test — give the output to a colleague without context. Can they use it? Document results: - Pass/fail for each test - Issues found and fixes applied - Final approved prompt version - Review date and approver Format: Test documentation template.
Why it works
Deploying untested prompts is like deploying untested code. This creates a QA process for AI prompts, which is critical when outputs affect financial reporting.
Watch out for
Risks: Testing one prompt doesn't mean it works forever — AI models update, data changes, and edge cases evolve. Control: Re-test prompts quarterly or after AI model updates.
