Agentic AI Testing / Quiz

Testing Long-Term Agent Memory

Your agent now 'remembers users'. That is a datastore with an LLM for a keyboard, and it needs write, update, recall, isolation, and delete tests.

// MISSION BRIEF

Your Mission

Persistent memory turns an agent into a stateful product feature: it extracts facts, stores them across sessions, and recalls them later. Every verb in that sentence fails in its own way. This quiz builds the test matrix for memory as a FEATURE, not just a context window.

Scoring: equal weight per question.

// FIRST CONTACT

Battle teaser

A user said 'I switched to a vegetarian diet' last month. Today the agent recommends a chicken recipe 'because you loved it before'. The failure:

  1. AThe model's vocabulary is too small
  2. BStale memory won: the update never superseded the old preference. Preference-change flows need explicit tests (old fact must stop surfacing)
  3. CRecipes cannot be personalized
  4. DThe user changed their mind too often
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
