Softude’s Chief AI Officer, Mradul Kanugo, Shares Insights on Validating GenAI Applications

Indore, India (M.P), July 13, 2026: Softude’s Chief AI Officer, Mradul Kanugo, has been featured as a guest contributor on Artificial Intelligence Made Simple, one of the most widely followed AI publications, where he examines why prompt testing is essential to building reliable GenAI applications. 

In the article, Kanugo addresses a challenge that many enterprise development teams encounter when building LLM-powered applications: unlike traditional software, large language models are inherently non-deterministic. 

The same input can produce different outputs across runs, making conventional unit testing methods ineffective and leaving quality and reliability gaps that may only surface after deployment.

The feature introduces prompt testing as a purpose-built approach for validating generative AI systems. Rather than checking for exact output matches, prompt testing evaluates whether a model’s responses consistently meet defined quality criteria, covering dimensions such as tone, accuracy, latency, semantic similarity, and the absence of harmful or off-topic content. 

Kanugo walks through Promptfoo, an open-source framework that allows development teams to structure and automate these evaluations across multiple LLM providers simultaneously.

This contribution reflects Softude’s ongoing commitment to advancing responsible, production-ready GenAI development and to sharing practical knowledge that helps engineering teams build AI applications that are reliable before they reach end-users.
