This tutorial will show you how to use LangSmith’s integrations with popular testing tools (Pytest, Vitest, and Jest) to evaluate your LLM application. We will create a ReAct agent that answers questions about publicly traded stocks and write a comprehensive test suite for it.
Setup#
This tutorial uses LangGraph for agent orchestration, OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Tavily for search, E2B’s code interpreter, and Polygon to retrieve stock data but it can be adapted for other frameworks, models and tools with minor modifications. Tavily, E2B and Polygon are free to sign up for.
Installation#
First, install the packages required for making the agent:
pip install -U langgraph langchain[openai] langchain-community e2b-code-interpreteryarn add @langchain/openai @langchain/community @langchain/langgraph @langchain/core @e2b/code-interpreter @polygon.io/client-js openai zodNext, install the testing framework:
# Make sure you have langsmith>=0.3.1
pip install -U "langsmith[pytest]"yarn add -D langsmith vitestyarn add -D langsmith jestEnvironment variables#
Set the following environment variables:
export LANGSMITH_TRACING=true
export LANGSMITH_API_KEY=<YOUR_LANGSMITH_API_KEY>
export OPENAI_API_KEY=<YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY>
export TAVILY_API_KEY=<YOUR_TAVILY_API_KEY>
export E2B_API_KEY=<YOUR_E2B_API_KEY>
export POLYGON_API_KEY=<YOUR_POLYGON_API_KEY>Create your app#
To define our React agent, we will use LangGraph/LangGraph.js for the orchestation and LangChain for the LLM and tools.
Define tools#
First we are going to define the tools we are going to use in our agent. There are going to be 3 tools:
A search tool using Tavily
A code interpreter tool using E2B
A stock information tool using Polygon
from langchain_community.tools import TavilySearchResults from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox from langchain_community.tools.polygon.aggregates import PolygonAggregates from langchain_community.utilities.polygon import PolygonAPIWrapper from typing_extensions import Annotated, TypedDict, Optional, Literal # Define search tool search_tool = TavilySearchResults( max_results=5, include_raw_content=True, ) # Define code tool def code_tool(code: str) -> str: """Execute python code and return the result.""" sbx = Sandbox() execution = sbx.run_code(code) if execution.error: return f"Error: {execution.error}" return f"Results: {execution.results}, Logs: {execution.logs}" # Define input schema for stock ticker tool class TickerToolInput(TypedDict): """Input format for the ticker tool. The tool will pull data in aggregate blocks (timespan_multiplier * timespan) from the from_date to the to_date """ ticker: Annotated[str, ..., "The ticker symbol of the stock"] timespan: Annotated[Literal["minute", "hour", "day", "week", "month", "quarter", "year"], ..., "The size of the time window."] timespan_multiplier: Annotated[int, ..., "The multiplier for the time window"] from_date: Annotated[str, ..., "The date to start pulling data from, YYYY-MM-DD format - ONLY include the year month and day"] to_date: Annotated[str, ..., "The date to stop pulling data, YYYY-MM-DD format - ONLY include the year month and day"] api_wrapper = PolygonAPIWrapper() polygon_aggregate = PolygonAggregates(api_wrapper=api_wrapper) # Define stock ticker tool def ticker_tool(query: TickerToolInput) -> str: """Pull data for the ticker.""" return polygon_aggregate.invoke(query)import { TavilySearchResults } from "@langchain/community/tools/tavily_search"; import { Sandbox } from "@e2b/code-interpreter"; import { tool } from "@langchain/core/tools"; import { z } from "zod"; import { restClient } from "@polygon.io/client-js"; // Define search tool const searchTool = new TavilySearchResults({ maxResults: 5, }); // Define code tool const codeTool = tool(async (input) => { const sbx = await Sandbox.create(); const execution = await sbx.runCode(input.code); if (execution.error) { return `Error: ${execution.error}`; } return `Results: ${execution.results}, Logs: ${execution.logs}`; }, { name: "code", description: "Execute python code and return the result.", schema: z.object({ code: z.string().describe("The python code to execute"), }), }); // Define input schema for stock ticker tool const TickerToolInputSchema = z.object({ ticker: z.string().describe("The ticker symbol of the stock"), timespan: z.enum(["minute", "hour", "day", "week", "month", "quarter", "year"]).describe("The size of the time window."), timespan_multiplier: z.number().describe("The multiplier for the time window"), from_date: z .string() .describe("The date to start pulling data from, YYYY-MM-DD format - ONLY include the year, month, and day"), to_date: z .string() .describe("The date to stop pulling data, YYYY-MM-DD format - ONLY include the year, month, and day"), }); const rest = restClient(process.env.POLYGON_API_KEY); // Define stock ticker tool const tickerTool = tool(async (query) => { const parsed = TickerToolInputSchema.parse(query); const result = await rest.stocks.aggregates( parsed.ticker, parsed.timespan_multiplier, parsed.timespan, parsed.from_date, parsed.to_date ); return JSON.stringify(result); }, { name: "ticker", description: "Pull data for the ticker", schema: TickerToolInputSchema, });
Define agent#
Now that we have defined all of our tools, we can use create_agent to create our agent.
from typing_extensions import Annotated, TypedDict
from langchain.agents import create_agent
class AgentOutputFormat(TypedDict):
numeric_answer: Annotated[float | None, ..., "The numeric answer, if the user asked for one"]
text_answer: Annotated[str | None, ..., "The text answer, if the user asked for one"]
reasoning: Annotated[str, ..., "The reasoning behind the answer"]
agent = create_agent(
model="gpt-4.1-mini",
tools=[code_tool, search_tool, polygon_aggregates],
response_format=AgentOutputFormat,
system_prompt="You are a financial expert. Respond to the users query accurately",
)import { z } from "zod";
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { createReactAgent } from "@langchain/langgraph/prebuilt";
const AgentOutputFormatSchema = z.object({
numeric_answer: z.number().optional().describe("The numeric answer, if the user asked for one"),
text_answer: z.string().optional().describe("The text answer, if the user asked for one"),
reasoning: z.string().describe("The reasoning behind the answer"),
})
const tools = [codeTool, searchTool, tickerTool];
const agent = createReactAgent({
llm: new ChatOpenAI({ model: "gpt-4.1" }),
tools: tools,
responseFormat: AgentOutputFormatSchema,
stateModifier: "You are a financial expert. Respond to the users query accurately",
});
export default agent;Write tests#
Now that we have defined our agent, let’s write a few tests to ensure basic functionality. In this tutorial we are going to test whether the agent’s tool calling abilities are working, whether the agent knows to ignore irrelevant questions, and whether it is able to answer complex questions that involve using all of the tools.
We need to first set up a test file and add the imports needed at the top of the file.
Create a `tests/test_agent.py` file.
from app import agent, polygon_aggregates, search_tool # import from wherever your agent is defined
import pytest
from langsmith import testing as tName your test file `agent.vitest.eval.ts`
import { expect } from "vitest";
import * as ls from "langsmith/vitest";
import agent from "../agent"; // import from wherever your agent is defined
// Optional, but recommended to group tests together
ls.describe("Agent Tests", () => {
// PLACE TESTS Here
});Name your test file `agent.jest.eval.ts`
import { expect } from "@jest/globals";
import * as ls from "langsmith/jest";
import agent from "../agent"; // import from wherever your agent is defined
// Optional, but recommended to group tests together
ls.describe("Agent Tests", () => {
// PLACE TESTS Here
});Test 1: Handle off-topic questions#
The first test will be a simple check that the agent does not use tools on irrelevant queries.
@pytest.mark.langsmith
@pytest.mark.parametrize(
# <-- Can still use all normal pytest markers
"query",
["Hello!", "How are you doing?"],
)
def test_no_tools_on_offtopic_query(query: str) -> None:
"""Test that the agent does not use tools on offtopic queries."""
# Log the test example
t.log_inputs({"query": query})
expected = []
t.log_reference_outputs({"tool_calls": expected})
# Call the agent's model node directly instead of running the ReACT loop.
result = agent.nodes["agent"].invoke(
{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": query}]}
)
actual = result["messages"][0].tool_calls
t.log_outputs({"tool_calls": actual})
# Check that no tool calls were made.
assert actual == expectedls.test.each([
{ inputs: { query: "Hello!" }, expected: { numMessages: 2 } },
{ inputs: { query: "How are you doing?" }, expected: { numMessages: 2 } },
])(
"should not use tools on offtopic query: %s",
async ({ inputs: { query }, expected: { numMessages } }) => {
const result = await agent.invoke({ messages: [{ role: "user", content: query }] });
ls.logOutputs(result);
// Check that the flow was HUMAN -> AI FINAL RESPONSE (no tools called)
expect(result.messages).toHaveLength(numMessages);
}
);ls.test.each([
{ inputs: { query: "Hello!" }, expected: { numMessages: 2 } },
{ inputs: { query: "How are you doing?" }, expected: { numMessages: 2 } },
])(
"should not use tools on offtopic query: %s",
async ({ inputs: { query }, expected: { numMessages } }) => {
const result = await agent.invoke({ messages: [{ role: "user", content: query }] });
ls.logOutputs(result);
// Check that the flow was HUMAN -> AI FINAL RESPONSE (no tools called)
expect(result.messages).toHaveLength(numMessages);
}
);Test 2: Simple tool calling#
For tool calling, we are going to verify that the agent calls the correct tool with the correct parameters.
@pytest.mark.langsmith
def test_searches_for_correct_ticker() -> None:
"""Test that the model looks up the correct ticker on simple query."""
# Log the test example
query = "What is the price of Apple?"
t.log_inputs({"query": query})
expected = "AAPL"
t.log_reference_outputs({"ticker": expected})
# Call the agent's model node directly instead of running the full ReACT loop.
result = agent.nodes["agent"].invoke(
{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": query}]}
)
tool_calls = result["messages"][0].tool_calls
if tool_calls[0]["name"] == polygon_aggregates.name:
actual = tool_calls[0]["args"]["ticker"]
else:
actual = None
t.log_outputs({"ticker": actual})
# Check that the right ticker was queried
assert actual == expectedls.test(
"should search for correct ticker",
{
inputs: { query: "What is the price of Apple?" },
expected: { numMessages: 4 },
},
async ({ inputs: { query }, expected: { numMessages } }) => {
const result = await agent.invoke({
messages: [{ role: "user", content: query }],
});
ls.logOutputs(result);
// The agent should have made a single tool call to the ticker tool
const toolCalls = (result.messages[1] as AIMessage).tool_calls || [];
const tickerQuery = JSON.parse(toolCalls[0].function.arguments).query.ticker;
// Check that the right ticker was queried
expect(tickerQuery).toBe("AAPL");
// Check that the flow was HUMAN -> AI -> TOOL -> AI FINAL RESPONSE
expect(result.messages).toHaveLength(numMessages);
}
);ls.test(
"should search for correct ticker",
{
inputs: { query: "What is the price of Apple?" },
expected: { numMessages: 4 },
},
async ({ inputs: { query }, expected: { numMessages } }) => {
const result = await agent.invoke({
messages: [{ role: "user", content: query }],
});
ls.logOutputs(result);
// The agent should have made a single tool call to the ticker tool
const toolCalls = (result.messages[1] as AIMessage).tool_calls || [];
const tickerQuery = JSON.parse(toolCalls[0].function.arguments).query.ticker;
// Check that the right ticker was queried
expect(tickerQuery).toBe("AAPL");
// Check that the flow was HUMAN -> AI -> TOOL -> AI FINAL RESPONSE
expect(result.messages).toHaveLength(numMessages);
}
);Test 3: Complex tool calling#
Some tool calls are easier to test than others. With the ticker lookup, we can assert that the correct ticker is searched. With the coding tool, the inputs and outputs of the tool are much less constrained, and there are lots of ways to get to the right answer. In this case, it’s simpler to test that the tool is used correctly by running the full agent and asserting that it both calls the coding tool and that it ends up with the right answer.

);Test 4: LLM-as-a-judge#
We are going to ensure that the agent’s answer is grounded in the search results by running an LLM-as-a-judge evaluation. In order to trace the LLM as a judge call separately from our agent, we will use the LangSmith provided trace_feedback context manager in Python and wrapEvaluator function in JS/TS.
