Testing AI/LLM Features

Traditional software testing:
  Input → Deterministic function → Expected output
  Assert: result == expected_value

LLM feature testing:
  Input → Probabilistic model → Variable output
  Assert: output satisfies a rubric
          output does NOT contain hallucinations
          output DOES contain required information
          output is in the correct format
          output completed within latency budget
