Does FutureSmart Database Agent surface failing questions as failures?

FutureSmart Database Agent failed this scenario: the failures view showed zero failures and no failing questions. In the same window, Input 3 and Input 5—the complaints question and the net-promoter-score question—were both marked answered in the query log, so the questions it could not answer were not surfaced as failures.

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.

Failing questions surfaced as failuresFailEvidence
What we sent

Input 1: “As of September 2, 2026, what's our total revenue in the last 30 days?”

Input 2: “What's our most common payment method?”

Input 3: “How many complaints have we received on social media this month?”

Input 4: “How many customers currently have an active subscription?”

Input 5: “What's our net promoter score for last quarter?”

What the tool returned

Response 1 TOTAL FAILURES 0 | FAILURE RATE 0.0% | TOP CATEGORY — | TOP FAILING STAGE — | DISTINCT QUESTIONS 0 Response 2 Top Failing Questions - Grouped by normalised question - one row per distinct question, not per failure - No failing questions in this period.

Why this result

The failures view was present but empty, while the same window's query log showed the score and complaints questions as answered. That means the questions it could not answer were filed as ordinary answers, not surfaced as failures.

Also observed in this test case

Metric meaning. The failures metric counts questions that did not produce a usable answer in this window.

Question truncation. The query list shortens question text, so the two failing questions are visible only by their opening words.

Limitations of this result

The tool answers to the five questions are not shown here; only the operator views are.

The failures view has no visible date range, so its period is taken from the query-log timestamps.

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.
