TDAD Methodology Overview
TDAD treats agent development as a compilation problem. A specification (PRD + decision tree) is the source, behavioral tests are the intermediate representation, and the prompt/configuration is the compiled artifact. This systematic approach ensures agents adhere to defined behaviors.
It involves distinct roles like TestSmith (test generator), PromptSmith (prompt compiler), and Built Agent (runtime), with clear interfaces between them.
This process reduces iteration time and improves prompt quality by iteratively refining prompts against tests.
Mitigating Specification Gaming
To prevent agents from merely optimizing for tests without achieving intended goals, TDAD employs three key mechanisms:
- Visible vs. Hidden Test Splits: A portion of tests are withheld during compilation to truly measure generalization.
- Semantic Mutation Testing: A post-compilation agent (MutationSmith) generates plausible faulty prompt variants to ensure the test suite can detect common failure modes.
- Spec Evolution Scenarios: Measures regression safety when specifications change, ensuring backward compatibility.
Benchmark Evaluation: SpecSuite-Core
The SpecSuite-Core benchmark evaluates agent compilation workflows across four deeply-specified agents: SupportOps, DataInsights, IncidentRunbook, and ExpenseGuard.
Each agent features multi-turn flows, tool contracts, decision trees with 10+ branches, hidden tests (40-60%), and mutation intent catalogs.
Experimental results demonstrate high compilation success rates, strong generalization (HPR), robust mutation scores, and excellent regression safety (SURS) across these diverse domains.
