EvaluationResult

EvaluationResult is the object evaluate() returns: a list of test results, one per test case, each holding every metric's score, threshold, reason and pass or fail.

Last updated: 05 Oct, 2026 · DeepEval 4.2.8

The report evaluate() prints is made for a person in a terminal. With Rate limits and retries handled, the next step is to use the scores in code: a table of your own, a list of failed goldens, a file to compare with the next run.

Per-golden results · from the Complete AI Security Course In 8 Hours · 2:40:40 to 2:42:55

Scores per golden

The video opens the results tab of its app. There is a score per golden for each metric, so you can see for which golden and on which metric the app is lacking. That is the difference from the raw RAG demo: you now know where to work on the pipeline. Then come the per-golden details: the RAG response, the retrieved chunks and the reference answer, the ground truth, for each golden query, all of which can be downloaded as JSON. The video's app builds that view from RAGAS results; in DeepEval the same data is in the object evaluate() returns.

The EvaluationResult API

python
result = evaluate(test_cases=test_cases, metrics=metrics)

result.test_results        # one TestResult per test case
test.name, test.success    # the test case's name; True only if every metric passed
test.metrics_data          # one MetricData per metric
metric.name, metric.score, metric.threshold, metric.success
metric.reason              # the judge's explanation
metric.evaluation_model    # the judge that scored it

Turning the report off

python
display_config=DisplayConfig(print_results=False, show_indicator=False)

print_results=False drops the per-test-case panels and the aggregate table; show_indicator=False drops the progress bars and the You're running lines. What still prints is shown in the run below.

A row per golden and metric

python
for test in result.test_results:
    for metric in test.metrics_data:
        print(f"{test.name:7}{metric.name:22}{metric.score:6.2f}  {str(metric.success):6}{metric.evaluation_model}")

Saving the scores to JSON

MetricData objects do not go into json.dump directly, so each row becomes a plain dictionary first.

python
rows.append({"golden": test.name, "metric": metric.name, "score": metric.score,
             "success": metric.success, "reason": metric.reason})
...
with open("scores.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(rows, f, indent=2)

Printing a score table from the result

Two goldens: the SoundPods Pro battery (g003) and the PixelPhone 15 price (g005), with the metrics from technest_eval.py, built in evaluate().

What the result object held

  • What still printed: the hyperparameters warning, the time taken, the pass rate and the Confident AI lines. The panels, the aggregate table and the progress lines are gone.
  • One row per golden and metric, four in all, each with the judge that scored it. g003 has relevancy 1.00 and correctness 0.00, the 24 hours against 32 again.
  • g005 failed answer relevancy with 0.33, while correctness gave the same answer 1.00: the price matches the expected output, but the judge found part of the reply off the question. The table does not say which part; the reason is saved in scores.json, and the first Try-it prints it.
  • failed goldens lists both: test.success is True only when every metric on that test case passed.
  • scores.json holds the four rows with their reasons, ready to load next to the next run's file.

The printed report vs EvaluationResult

Printed reportEvaluationResult
Made forA person reading the terminalYour code
Passing test casesOne line each, details cutEvery score and reason
Can be filtered or sortedNoYes, it is a list
SavedWith DisplayConfig(results_folder=...), as a full test runHowever you write it, here scores.json

When to read the result in code

  • When a script should stop a release if a golden that used to pass now fails.
  • When you compare runs: save the rows from each run and diff them, which Comparing models does across two models.
  • When you want every reason, including the ones the report cuts for passing test cases.
Watch out. metric.score is None when a metric errored, for example with ErrorConfig(ignore_errors=True) after a rate limit. A format string such as {metric.score:6.2f} then raises a TypeError. Check metric.error first in a run that can have errors.
Try it yourself
  • Inside the inner loop, add if not metric.success: print(" ", metric.reason) and read why each failing metric failed.
  • Remove show_indicator=False and check that the You're running lines come back.
  • Add results_folder="runs" to the DisplayConfig: DeepEval prints Test run saved at runs/test_run_...json, a file with every test case, score and reason.

Slow is fine. Stopping is the only problem.
