Identify reliability risks and test the performance of agentic applications.

Security and guardrails

Security testing, red teaming, and guardrails for AI agents.

Production operations

Observability, production monitoring, CI/CD, and enterprise-scale testing.

Practical implementation

Examples in Python and TypeScript for building an AI agent testing platform.

  • Engineering leaders responsible for AI-powered applications and agentic systems

About this book

My third authored book, AI Agent Testing: The Complete Guide, is expected from Packt in March 2027.

AI agents are moving rapidly from experimental prototypes into production applications, where they interact with users, call tools, access enterprise data, maintain memory, make decisions, and collaborate with other agents. Traditional software testing alone is not sufficient for these systems because agent behavior is probabilistic, context-dependent, and often nondeterministic.

AI Agent Testing: The Complete Guide provides a practical, framework-agnostic approach to testing AI agents across their complete lifecycle. The book covers unit and integration testing, workflow validation, AI evaluation, reliability and performance testing, security and red teaming, guardrails, observability, production monitoring, CI/CD, and enterprise-scale testing.

The book combines software engineering practices with AI-specific evaluation techniques and provides practical examples in Python and TypeScript. Readers will learn how to design an AI agent testing strategy, automate tests, measure agent quality, identify security and reliability risks, and build a production-ready testing platform for single-agent and multi-agent systems.

The cover, table of contents, and purchase links will be added when confirmed. The expected release is known to the month; no exact publication day is claimed.
