New Microsoft tool lets devs spin up AI behavior tests using text descriptions

Microsoft unveiled ASSERT (Adaptive Spec-driven Scoring for Evaluation and Regression Testing), a tool that lets developers create AI agent behavior tests using plain-text descriptions instead of hand-coded test cases. ASSERT automatically generates scored test scenarios from natural language specifications, reducing the manual effort required to validate how AI agents behave in production. The tool is designed to complement ACS as part of a broader Microsoft framework for governing and evaluating AI agent deployments.
