Brief overview of engine-agnostic tools for search and LLM evaluation — and how they differ from TestMySearch.
TestMySearch (highlights)
- Engine-agnostic batch runner. Fetches results from multiple search engines/configurations and evaluates them together.
- IR metrics & stats. nDCG, MAP, Precision/Recall, overlap/rank-correlation, and pairwise statistical tests with clear visuals.
- LLM-powered assessment. Optional LLM judging of document relevance and automatic query generation to expand coverage.
- Reports & workflow. Sandboxes, Baskets, and Generated Reports for side-by-side comparisons and decision-ready summaries.

Engine-agnostic tools considered
Product | Primary focus | IR metrics | LLM-based eval | Monitoring | Missing vs. our product | Links |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Evidently | Open-source evaluation & observability for ML/LLM systems (drift, quality checks, test suites). | General-purpose metrics (classification, regression, NLP). IR metrics require custom setup. | Yes — supports LLM judges and model-graded checks. | Yes — dashboards and monitoring. |
|
GitHub · Website |
Promptfoo | Open-source LLM evals, red teaming, guardrails; model-graded scoring. | Generic scoring; not IR-focused by default. | Yes — model-graded evals and adversarial tests. | Primarily testing, not monitoring. |
|
Website · GitHub |
DeepEval | Open-source LLM evaluation framework (pytest‑like). | Generic LLM metrics (e.g., hallucination, relevancy, RAGAS); not IR‑specific by default. | Yes — uses LLMs and local NLP models. | Evaluation-first; hosted monitoring via Confident AI. |
|
GitHub · Confident AI |
pytrec_eval | Python bindings for the classic TREC evaluation measures. | Yes — nDCG, MAP, Precision@k, etc. (via trec_eval). | No — not LLM‑graded. | No — library only. |
|
GitHub · PyPI |
trec_eval | Reference IR evaluation tool used by the TREC community. | Yes — canonical TREC measures (MAP, nDCG, etc.). | No — not LLM‑graded. | No — CLI tool. |
|
GitHub |
Pyserini | Lucene‑based IR toolkit for reproducible baselines with datasets, indexes, and evaluation scripts. | Yes — supports standard benchmarks (e.g., BEIR) with evaluation utilities. | No — not focused on LLM‑graded evals. | No — toolkit/library. |
|
GitHub |
Quepid | Human-in-the-loop relevance tuning and test cases across engines. | Yes — calculates metrics over judged queries/test cases. | No — no built-in LLM assessor or query generation. | Limited — primarily tuning rather than monitoring. |
|
Website · GitHub |
RRE (Rated Ranking Evaluator) | Open-source offline IR evaluation framework for search quality. | Yes — supports standard IR measures (nDCG, MAP, etc.). | No — no LLM‑based judging. | No — framework, not a monitoring suite. |

Why to pick TestMySearch
Multi-engine, offline-first
Run batch tests across engines/configs safely, then ship with confidence. Complement with online A/B as needed.
LLM judgments & query generation
Bootstrap or expand coverage with LLM-generated queries and document-level LLM assessors.
Rich reports
NDCG/MAP, precision/recall, overlap, rank-correlation, and pairwise tests — all in decision-ready views.
Pragmatic workflow
Accounts, Sandboxes, Baskets and Processors streamline end‑to‑end evaluation.
