How to Evaluate Live Voice Agents in ADK
Original title:How to Evaluate Live & Voice Agents in ADK
Tutorials82
Transitioning live voice agents from prototypes to production often stalls on the unpredictability of multi-turn spoken dialogue. Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) introduces native live evaluation, employing LLM-driven personas that emit synthetic speech via Gemini TTS to stress-test graph-based agent workflows. The system automatically grades audio replies and tool executions against natural-language rubrics, with results inspectable through ADK Web or integrated into automated CI/CD runs.
Why it's worth reading
As voice agents shift from fragile demos into production environments, automated audio-level testing and deterministic CI/CD evaluations have become essential engineering prerequisites.
