Step 5 - Testing the Agents

Test Workflow

The UnO Agentic AI Builder allows you to test your agent and workflow.

The Test Workflow panel displays the real‑time execution of the agent during testing. It shows agent responses, intermediate steps, and system messages generated as part of the workflow.

If an error occurs during execution, the system may prompt you with recovery options, allowing you to decide how the agent should proceed.

To help you understand the testing process, the page is divided into three panels that guide you from input to execution and backend processing.

Testing Panels
  • Test Agent (Left): Displays agents, subagents included in the test.
  • Test Workflow (Center): Shows conversation flow and timestamps.
    • Enter test queries or attach documents of supported file formats.
    • Use this to simulate real user input.

      For example: “Does this candidate match the job description?” The agent will read the document and provide an answer.

  • Backend Flow (Right): Lists triggered subagents and their execution times.

The Backend Flow panel provides a detailed, timestamped view of the agent execution sequence. This helps you understand how inputs and decisions flow through the system during testing.

The backend flow includes:

  • User Input – The original test input
  • Human Intervention – Manual intervention steps (if enabled)
  • System‑generated execution steps

Human Intervention allows a user to manually guide the agent during execution. This is useful for:

  • Resolving ambiguities
  • Handling partial failures
  • Making decisions when automated execution cannot continue

When human intervention is triggered, it appears as a distinct step in the backend flow.

How to test the AI Agents

To test an agent from the AI Agents, follow these steps:
  1. Navigate to the AI Agents page.
  2. Locate the agent you want to test. Each agent is displayed as a tile.
  3. On the agent tile, click the Test icon.
  4. The test interface appears, allowing you to validate the agent's behavior and responses.
  5. In the Test Workflow panel (center), type a query in the input box to simulate user interaction with the agent. Alternatively, you can attach a document for testing by clicking the attachment icon.
  6. After entering the query or attaching the document, click the send icon to submit and view the agent’s response in the workflow.

When you test the agent, the Backend Flow is displayed in the right-side panel, allowing you to view the execution details and data flow.

Error Handling During Testing

If the agent encounters a technical issue during execution, it may return a partial response and present options such as:

  • Continue with other queries
  • Receive the partial result generated so far
  • Skip the problematic section and continue

This ensures that testing can proceed even when parts of the workflow fail.

File Upload Support in Testing

During testing, you can attach documents along with your input.

Supported file formats:

  • PDF
  • DOC, DOCX
  • CSV
  • XLS, XLSX
  • JSON

Maximum file size: 10 MB

Uploaded documents are processed as part of the test input and included in the agent’s execution flow.

Use the test interface to:

  • Validate the agent’s behavior and generated responses.
  • Identify and verify issues in the agent’s logic, prompt structure, or tool usage.
  • Refine the agent’s configuration, prompts, or workflow design based on test outcomes.
