Testing is essential for successfully deploying your agent to production. Follow these recommended steps to ensure a robust deployment:

Step 1: LLM and Web Call Testing

Validate and refine your agent’s behavior:

  • Use the to test conversation flows and responses

  • Use

  • Ensure accurate function calling and conversation handling

Step 2: Phone Audio Testing

Test your agent in phone environments:

  • Place test calls to your agent

  • Initiate outbound calls from your agent

  • Validate performance with background noise and user interruptions

Step 3: Limited Production Testing

Perform controlled testing in production:

  • Deploy with a small sample size (5-10 calls)

  • Use to track performance

  • Measure critical metrics including completion rates and user satisfaction

Scale your deployment strategically:

  • Incrementally expand your user base

  • Maintain continuous performance monitoring

Step 4: Gradual Rollout
