​
Definition

The mean latency test ensures that the mean latency for the data is within a given range.

​
Taxonomy

  • Category: Performance.
  • Task types: LLM, tabular classification, tabular regression, text classification.
  • Availability: .

​
Why it matters

  • The latency of a model directly impacts the user experience. Setting up tests to monitor the latency ensures that the latency is kept within a given range.

​
Test configuration examples

If you are writing a tests.json, here are a few valid configurations for the character length test: 
[
  {
    "name": "Mean latency below 8000 msec",
    "description": "Make sure that the mean latency is below 8000 msec",
    "type": "performance",
    "subtype": "metricThreshold",
    "thresholds": [
      {
        "insightName": "metrics",
        "insightParameters": null,
        "measurement": "meanLatency",
        "operator": "<",
        "value": 8000
      }
    ],
    "subpopulationFilters": null,
    "mode": "development",
    "usesValidationDataset": true, // Apply test to the validation set
    "usesTrainingDataset": false,
    "usesMlModel": false,
    "syncId": "b4dee7dc-4f15-48ca-a282-63e2c04e0689" // Some unique id
  }
