Deployment Validation

Run these checks after deployment to validate that platform features are operational in the target environment, before handing the deployment over for product testing. DynamoAI provides executable validation scripts for these checks; the checklists below track sign-off. Checklist state is saved in your browser and can be downloaded as Markdown for the handover record.

Before starting, review the runtime and test-time dependencies; most validation failures trace back to that table (target endpoint guardrails, provider health, rate limits), not to the platform.

The validation script uses a model from the GPT-4 family (4, 4o, 4.1, or 4.1-mini) as the AI system under test.

DynamoEval: System Policy Compliance

Prerequisites: the model is registered in DynamoEval, user access management is set up, and an input content policy exists.

CheckTarget Result
Create a System Policy Compliance testTest record created with a valid test ID; status reaches PREPARING then RUNNING
Test execution completesStatus transitions to COMPLETED without ERROR
Retrieve deep-dive prompt-response resultsDeep-dive API returns HTTP 200; guardrail_evaluation_prompt_responses is non-empty; each record contains prompt and response fields
Retrieve report PDF dataReport data API returns HTTP 200 with a non-null body
Verify model metricsModel metrics API returns HTTP 200 with non-null data (ASR, success count, attack type per test)
System Policy Compliance0/5

DynamoEval: Policy Jailbreak

Prerequisites: same as System Policy Compliance, plus a healthy AI provider (check the provider status page before the run). Policy Jailbreak tests additionally require DynamoGuard to be deployed; the test exercises guardrail endpoints.

CheckTarget Result
Create a Policy Jailbreak testTest record created with a valid test ID; status QUEUED or RUNNING
Test execution completesStatus transitions to COMPLETED without ERROR; progress stages validate during execution
Retrieve deep-dive prompt-response resultsHTTP 200; policy_jailbreak_prompt_responses non-empty; attackTypes and total count present
Retrieve report PDF dataHTTP 200 with a non-null body
Verify model metricsHTTP 200 with non-null data
Policy Jailbreak0/5

DynamoGuard: Safety Policy

Prerequisites: the safety model is deployed and the user has access to the DynamoGuard policy page.

CheckTarget Result
Create a safety policyPOST /moderation/policy returns HTTP 201 with a policy ID
Create an AI systemAI system model created in the /ml-model response for the authenticated test user
Apply the safety policy to the AI systemappliedStatus = APPLIED; model ID present in the policy's models array
Test the built-in chatbot with the guardrail appliedChatbot returns HTTP 201; guardrail evaluates inline in real time (requires the third-party LLM powering the chatbot to be connected)
Safety Policy0/4

DynamoGuard: Custom Content Policy

Prerequisites: access to the DynamoGuard policy page. Each check depends on the previous one passing.

CheckTarget Result
Create a use-case contextPOST /moderation/policy/domain/usecase returns HTTP 201 with a valid usecase ID; title and description match the payload
Create a custom content policy linked to the use caseHTTP 201; policy linked to the usecase ID; action and applicableTo match (INPUT or OUTPUT)
Auto-generate allowed and prohibited behaviorsHTTP 204; policy expanded view returns exactly 5 allowed and 5 disallowed behaviors
Create a synthetic dataset from policy behaviorsHTTP 201; stage = seed; policyId matches; dataset visible via GET
Seed examples ready and dataset review submittedDatapoints present; review accepted (HTTP 200/201); stage transitions to augment or reviewReady
Trigger guardrail model trainingHTTP 200/201 on startTraining
Training completestrainingStatus = TRAINING_COMPLETE with no TRAINING_FAILED encountered
Policy deploysappliedStatus = READY_TO_APPLY; resourceDeploymentStatus = DEPLOYED
Scale down the deployed policyisEnabled=false accepted; resourceDeploymentStatus transitions to SCALING_DOWN or NOT_DEPLOYED
