Giskard Checks Tutorials

Summary

These tutorials teach you the fundamental patterns of Giskard Checks through hands-on, step-by-step exercises. Each one is a lesson you type along with, in order. When you already know what you want to build and need one specific task done, use the how-to guides instead.

Prerequisites

To start Your First Test, you need:

• Giskard Checks installed, following the installation steps
• Basic Python knowledge

It needs no API key or LLM. Before Your First LLM Call and the later tutorials, configure an LLM provider and API key using the same guide, and be familiar with basic async/await.

Available tutorials

The recommended path here runs Your First Test, Your First LLM Call, Multi-Turn Scenarios, then Test Suites. Dynamic Scenarios is an alternative after Your First LLM Call and also prepares you for Test Suites.

Your First Test Write a test case and read its result. Under 10 minutes, no API key or LLM required

Your First LLM Call Call a real language model and grade its answer against a rule you write in English, using LLMJudge

Multi-Turn Scenarios Test a conversation instead of a single message, where the agent has to remember earlier turns

Dynamic Scenarios Learn how to use callable inputs and outputs that read from the trace, making interactions context-aware

Test Suites Group multiple scenarios into a suite class and run them with a single await

Next steps

Once you can build scenarios, extend with your own validation logic: see Custom Checks to create domain-specific checks with FnCheck, Check subclasses, and more.
