Developers building on LLMs typically judge prompt quality by manual spot-checking rather than running it against a structured test dataset, leaving them without a pass rate, per-case failure reasoning, or a way to catch regressions when a prompt is edited. This makes prompt iteration largely guesswork instead of a measurable, repeatable process.
