Can AskYourDatabase handle questions that the connected data cannot answer?

AskYourDatabase could not answer the question from the connected data. It said the schema it could see had no review or rating data, asked where that data is stored, and returned no number.

The test case

Each test case is judged on its own: Pass, Fail, Not gradable, or Untested. The scenario result above is based on this test case.

Topic the database does not holdPassEvidence
What we sent

“How many 5-star reviews have we received this month?”

What the tool returned

The tool's reply is shown in the evidence under Proof.

Response to input 1 (message 1 of 2) I don't have access to a reviews table in the database schema. The available tables are related to orders, customers, products, subscriptions, returns, tickets, and action logs — none of which contain review or rating data. Response to input 1 (message 2 of 2) Could you clarify where the 5-star review data is stored, or would you like me to help with something else from the available data?

Why this result

The product could not supply a count because the accessible schema had no review or rating data. It asked where that data is stored and gave no number.

Also observed in this test case

Topic summary. The reply grouped the schema by topic and said none of the tables held review data.

Configuration and setup

How this tool was set up for the run and what the test needed in place. Each row is a fact from the run's records; a fact the records do not hold is left out, not guessed.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the test case's result says which one and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the test case's result says what's missing.

History of this result

What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.

This matches what I see

You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.

Something here is wrong — a reference value, a transcription, a grade.

We have fixed this

Tell us what changed and we schedule a rerun of the failing test case. The old result stays as history.
