Test Prompt Generator Service Plan (Microservice Architecture)

1. Overview

The Test Prompt Generator Service creates diverse test prompts using an LLM and validates them through the complete filtering pipeline. It operates as an independent FastAPI service that provides comprehensive testing capabilities for the entire system, including functional complexity testing and adversarial prompt generation.

2. Service Architecture

  • Port: 8004 (Testing utility service)
  • Framework: FastAPI with async/await support
  • Dependencies: LLM Backend for generation, Proxy Service (8001) for pipeline testing
  • Phase: 4 (Testing utility - depends on complete pipeline)

3. Core Functionality

3.1 Prompt Generation

  • Diverse Prompt Types: Generate prompts across all defined categories
  • Complexity Levels: Create simple, medium, complex, and adversarial prompts
  • Targeted Generation: Generate prompts designed to trigger specific categories
  • Batch Generation: Create multiple test prompts with varying characteristics

3.2 Pipeline Testing

  • End-to-End Validation: Test generated prompts through complete filtering pipeline
  • Expected vs Actual: Compare expected categorization/filtering with actual results
  • Result Analysis: Analyze discrepancies and system behavior
  • Test Reporting: Generate comprehensive test reports with success/failure metrics

3.3 Adversarial Testing

  • Boundary Testing: Generate prompts at category boundaries
  • Edge Case Generation: Create prompts designed to challenge the system
  • Security Testing: Generate prompts to test filtering robustness
  • False Positive/Negative Detection: Identify system weaknesses

4. Implementation Requirements

    complexity = params.get("complexity_level", "medium")
    target_categories = params.get("target_categories", [])
    prompt_type = params.get("prompt_type", "instruction")
    
    return f"""
Generate a {complexity} complexity {prompt_type} prompt that should be categorized as: {', '.join(target_categories)}

Requirements:
- The prompt should clearly fit the target categories
- Complexity level: {complexity}
- Make it realistic and natural sounding
- Include specific elements that would trigger the target categories

Complexity Guidelines:
- Simple: Basic, straightforward requests
- Medium: More nuanced requests with some ambiguity
- Complex: Multi-faceted requests with multiple potential interpretations
- Adversarial: Prompts designed to challenge or test filtering boundaries

Return only the generated prompt text, nothing else.

7. Pipeline Testing Integration

7.1 Pipeline Client Implementation

async def test_through_pipeline(self, prompt: str, expected_result: dict, request_id: str) -> dict:
    """Test generated prompt through complete pipeline"""
    async with httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=360.0) as client:  # 6 minute timeout for full pipeline
        response = await client.post(
            f"{self.config.proxy_url}/v1/chat/completions",
            json={
                "model": "test-model",
                "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
                "filtering_options": {
                    "include_filter_metadata": True
                }
            },
            timeout=360.0
        )
        
        # Analyze results vs expectations
        actual_result = response.json()

        return {
            "prompt": prompt,
            "expected": expected_result,

            "analysis": analysis,
            "success": analysis["matches_expected"]
        }

def analyze_results(self, expected: dict, actual: dict) -> dict:
    """Analyze expected vs actual results"""
    analysis = {
        "matches_expected": True,
        "discrepancies": [],
        "confidence_delta": 0.0,
        "category_matches": True
    }
    
    # Check if filtering decision matches
    expected_blocked = expected.get("should_be_blocked", False)
    actual_blocked = actual.get("choices", [{}])[0].get("finish_reason") == "filter_blocked"
    
    if expected_blocked != actual_blocked:
        analysis["matches_expected"] = False
        analysis["discrepancies"].append({
            "type": "filtering_decision",
            "expected": "blocked" if expected_blocked else "allowed",

11. Development Workflow

11.1 TDD Development Process

  1. Write unit tests for prompt generation logic with mocked LLM
  2. Implement generation engine to pass unit tests
  3. Write integration tests for pipeline testing functionality
  4. Implement pipeline client and result analysis
  5. Test adversarial generation and boundary cases

11.2 Testing Commands

# Unit tests (fast feedback with mocks)
cd services/test_generator
uv run pytest tests/unit/ -v

# Integration tests (requires LLM and pipeline, very slow)
uv run pytest tests/integration/ -v --timeout=600

# All tests
uv run pytest -v

# Run service for development
uv run uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8004 --reload

12. Deployment Considerations

12.1 Service Dependencies

  • Required External Services: LLM Backend, complete filtering pipeline (8001-8003)
  • Configuration: Unified configuration file access
  • Startup Validation: Verify all pipeline services before generating tests
  • Health Checks: Validate all dependencies for comprehensive testing

12.2 Service Execution

# Install dependencies
cd services/test_generator
uv init
uv add fastapi uvicorn httpx pydantic pydantic-settings structlog

# Run service for development
uv run uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8004 --reload

# Run service for production
uv run uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8004

13. Service Handoff Process

13.1 Development Team Deliverables

  • Complete unit test coverage (>90%) for generation and testing logic
  • Service runs independently with health checks
  • Integration tests pass with real LLM and pipeline (allowing for slow responses)
  • Generation templates and examples documented
  • Service execution instructions for QA team
  • Adversarial test case generation capabilities

13.2 QA Integration Requirements

  • Service must respond to health checks before testing
  • Complete pipeline must be available for end-to-end testing
  • Extended test timeouts (10+ minutes) to accommodate generation + pipeline testing
  • Generation examples provided for various complexity levels
  • Test report formats documented for QA analysis

14. Test Reporting and Analysis

14.1 Test Report Generation

def generate_test_report(self, test_results: list) -> dict:
    """Generate comprehensive test report"""
    total_tests = len(test_results)
    successful_tests = sum(1 for result in test_results if result["success"])
    
    return {
        "summary": {
            "total_tests": total_tests,
            "successful_tests": successful_tests,
            "success_rate": successful_tests / total_tests if total_tests > 0 else 0,
            "failure_rate": (total_tests - successful_tests) / total_tests if total_tests > 0 else 0
        },
        "category_analysis": self.analyze_by_category(test_results),
        "complexity_analysis": self.analyze_by_complexity(test_results),
        "common_failures": self.identify_common_failures(test_results),
        "recommendations": self.generate_recommendations(test_results)
    }

14.2 Continuous Improvement

  • Failure Pattern Analysis: Identify common failure modes
  • Generation Refinement: Improve prompt generation based on results
  • System Feedback: Provide insights for filtering system improvements
  • Test Coverage: Ensure comprehensive coverage of all categories and edge cases

This Test Prompt Generator Service plan provides a comprehensive foundation for implementing the testing utility service that validates the complete filtering pipeline through intelligent prompt generation and systematic testing approaches.
