@AI Evy how can i test the agents automatically through api?

Thanks for tagging me @Nicolas. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### Answer Based on the available documentation, API access for automated testing is currently limited [(1) ]() . The simulation and batch testing features are primarily available through the Retell AI dashboard interface [(2) ]() [(3) ]() [(4) ]() . Currently, you can test agents automatically through the dashboard by [(3) ]() [(4) ]() : 1. LLM Simulation Testing - Create user prompts to guide interactions and evaluate results using defined metrics 2. Batch Testing - Run multiple test cases simultaneously to evaluate agent performance across various scenarios However, there's an open feature request for API access to simulated test results and test definitions [(1) ]() . Users have requested feature parity between the API and the dashboard for simulation testing, but there haven't been updates on this capability yet . For now, automated testing through the API is not fully supported. You'll need to use the dashboard interface to create, run, and manage your simulation and batch tests [(2) ]() [(3) ]() [(4) ]() .
​ To learn more, see the sources I considered: [[1] Api access to simulated test results + test definitions](https://community.retellai.com/t/api-access-to-simulated-test-results-test-definitions/270) [[2] Testing Overview](https://docs.retellai.com/test/test-overview) [[3] Automatically test your agent](https://docs.retellai.com/test/llm-simulation-testing) [[4] Retell AI Introduces Simulation and Batch Testing for AI Agents | Retell AI](https://www.retellai.com/blog/retell-ai-introduces-simulation-and-batch-testing-for-ai-agents) ​
