Prompt Engineering & Prompt Testing

Treat prompts like production assets: version them, test them, compare them and defend them against regressions.

Guided lessons

Learn the engineering thinking

Lesson 1

Prompt design as specification

A production prompt is closer to executable policy than casual prose. Make inputs, constraints and output expectations explicit.

Lesson 2

Golden datasets

Create representative examples with expected behaviour so prompt changes can be evaluated consistently.

Lesson 3

Prompt regression testing

Compare new prompt versions against known cases, edge cases and adversarial inputs before release.

Lesson 4

Scoring AI output

Combine exact checks, semantic criteria, rubric evaluation and human review depending on the workflow.

Lesson 5

Prompt injection awareness

Treat retrieved and user-supplied content as untrusted input when instructions and tool access are involved.

Hands-on practice

Do something with what you learned

Do not just tick these mentally. Write the query, create the test matrix, refactor the code, or document the decision. Practical evidence is the point.
