Test agent changes using historical production conversations, not synthetic benchmarks.
Production traces reveal confidence in prompt edits that benchmarks cannot.
Replay-based gates catch silent agent quality regressions that standard monitoring misses.
Replay catches failures, but only a well-chosen judge can score them.
Replaying fixes against real failure traces catches what tests miss.
Replay evals freeze production traces so you can test one fix live.
Replay coverage means testing known failures, not code lines.
Temperature zero can't make agents repeatable, but layered recording can.
Replay test suites need carefully curated traces, not just volume.
Replay eval platforms trace agent failures to specific components, not just outcomes.
