Use the sandbox before production
Sandbox creates an isolated test session for one of your deployed agents. It supports a Single Thread and an A/B Compare mode, editable Sandbox Settings, session credit totals, image input up to 6 MB, and session reset controls.
Start a test session
- 01
Open Sandbox
Choose Sandbox in the Nerova app and select the agent you need to test.
- 02
Choose a mode
Use Single Thread for one conversation or A/B Compare to send the same prompt to Variant A and Variant B.
- 03
Open Settings
Adjust the sandbox-only settings for the selected agent or each comparison variant before starting the chat.
- 04
Use a realistic request
Send the same kind of prompt, context, ambiguity, or supported image the agent will receive in normal use.
- 05
Inspect and reset
Compare the full replies and session credits, then reset the thread or variant when you need a clean test.
Build a useful test set
- A normal request with all required information.
- A request with important information missing.
- An unsupported or unsafe request that should be declined or escalated.
- An ambiguous request that should trigger a clarifying question.
- A request that depends on recently changed knowledge or instructions.
