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.
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
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 itTurning the report off
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

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.
rows.append({"golden": test.name, "metric": metric.name, "score": metric.score,
"success": metric.success, "reason": metric.reason})

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 goldenslists both:test.successisTrueonly when every metric on that test case passed.scores.jsonholds the four rows with their reasons, ready to load next to the next run's file.
The printed report vs EvaluationResult
| Printed report | EvaluationResult | |
|---|---|---|
| Made for | A person reading the terminal | Your code |
| Passing test cases | One line each, details cut | Every score and reason |
| Can be filtered or sorted | No | Yes, it is a list |
| Saved | With DisplayConfig(results_folder=...), as a full test run | However 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.
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.Related
- Previous: Rate limits and retries
- Next: Comparing models
- Reference: Flags and configs: display configs
- Inside the inner loop, add
if not metric.success: print(" ", metric.reason)and read why each failing metric failed. - Remove
show_indicator=Falseand check that the You're running lines come back. - Add
results_folder="runs"to theDisplayConfig: DeepEval prints Test run saved at runs/test_run_...json, a file with every test case, score and reason.
