How to Create a New Prompt

In the context of AI and machine learning, a prompt is an instruction, question, or statement that is given to an AI model to elicit a response or output. It serves as the initial input for systems like conversational agents or generative models.

1. Click the + Prompt button on the top right.
2. Fill in the Name, Description, and Context fields.
3. Click Save.

Note: Name and Description are non-editable fields and can't be modified after saving the prompt.

How to Create Tags

In ELITEA, Tags serve as an efficient organizational tool that allows you to categorize and manage your collection of prompts. By assigning relevant tags to each prompt, you create an intuitive labeling system that facilitates quick access and retrieval. Later on, you can filter prompts by these tags, simplifying the process of finding the precise prompt you need among a vast collection, which is especially useful for users with an extensive library of different prompt types and topics.

To add a tag to the prompt:

1. Type a tag name or select from pre-existing tags from Tags input box.
2. Press comma or Enter to create/select tag.
3. Click Save to save the prompt with selected tags.

Note: User has the flexibility to assign one or more tags to each prompt, enabling a multi-dimensional labeling system.

How to Create Context

The Context field in ELITEA is a crucial component where users input the necessary background information or instructions that guide the LLM in generating accurate and relevant responses. This section serves as the foundational knowledge base for the model to understand and process your specific requests.

How to Input Context

• Identify Key Information: Before entering data into the Context field, identify the essential details or instructions that the model needs to know to fulfill your request effectively. This could include the topic, specific terms, relevant background information, or the scope of the task.
• Enter the Details: In the Context field, clearly and concisely input the identified information. Ensure that the information is directly relevant to the task to maintain the model's focus and efficiency.
• Using Variables: For dynamic content generation, you can incorporate variables directly into the Context. Variables are denoted by double curly braces, e.g., {{variable_name}}. After defining a variable in the Context, you must specify its value in the Variables section to let the model replace the placeholder with the actual data during processing.

Prompting Frameworks

To further refine the instructions and ensure high-quality responses from LLMs, you can utilize structured prompting frameworks. These frameworks help in crafting precise and effective prompts by breaking down the requirements into specific components. Below are examples of how to apply these frameworks in the context of software testing:

CREATE Framework

The CREATE framework helps in constructing detailed and focused prompts by defining the Character, Request, Examples, Adjustment, Type of Output, and Extras.

- **Character**: Act as a senior software tester with expertise in regression testing.
- **Request**: Develop a detailed regression testing strategy for an upcoming version release of our CRM software.
- **Examples**: Include scenarios like:
  - Preconditions: CRM software has been updated to the latest version.
  - Steps to reproduce: User logs in and accesses the customer data module.
  - Expected results: User should see updated customer data without any data loss.
- **Adjustment**: Focus on critical modules like customer data management and transaction processing.
- **Type of Output**: Format the strategy as a formal document with sections for objectives, scope, test scenarios, and resources.
- **Extras**: After formulating the strategy, provide a rationale for the choice of specific test scenarios and their expected impact on the software quality.

Elavis Saravia Framework

This framework simplifies the prompt creation process into four main elements: Instruction, Context, Input Data, and Output Indicator.

- **Instruction**: Generate test cases for user interface consistency across different devices.
- **Context**: The application is a cross-platform tool accessible on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
- **Input Data**: User accesses the application from different devices.
- **Output Indicator**: The output should be a list of test cases, each describing the test steps, the expected results, and the device type.

CRISPE Framework

The CRISPE framework provides a comprehensive approach by incorporating Capacity and Role, Insight, Statement, Personality, and Experiment.

- **Capacity and Role**: Serve as an automated testing tool expert.
- **Insight**: The software to be tested is an e-commerce platform with high transaction volumes and user concurrency.
- **Statement**: Create automated test scripts that simulate multiple user transactions simultaneously.
- **Personality**: Maintain a technical and precise tone throughout the test scripts.
- **Experiment**: Offer three variations of the test script focusing on different aspects of the transaction process (e.g., payment processing, cart updates, and user login).

By integrating these frameworks into the Context section of your prompts, you can guide LLMs to produce more targeted and effective outputs. Each framework helps in structuring your request to the Gen AI, ensuring that all necessary details are included to generate the desired results.

Editability and Version Control

You can edit the Context field at any time to update or refine the instructions:

• Editing Existing Context: Simply make changes directly in the Context field and save them. This updates the prompt to reflect the latest information.
• Creating New Versions: If you want to keep the original version, you can save your changes as a new version. This is useful for comparing different versions or keeping a history of changes. Note: For more information check the Managing Prompt Versions: Save, Create Versions, and Manage.

These features allow you to adapt and improve the instructions as needed, ensuring the responses remain relevant and accurate.

How to Setup Messages

The MESSAGES section is a crucial component that allows users to structure the flow of interaction within a prompt.

• System Message: Sets the interaction's context and guidelines for the Gen AI, not visible to the user but crucial for defining the Gen AI's behavior.
• Assistant Message: The Gen AI's responses to user inputs, crafted within the context and constraints set by the system message.
• User Message: Inputs from the user, serving as prompts for the Gen AI to generate responses, thereby driving the conversation forward.

In conversational models, these message types work together within prompts to create a structured and meaningful dialogue. The system message defines the framework, the user message initiates and guides the flow of the conversation, and the assistant message provides the content of the interaction, all contributing to a coherent and purposeful exchange.

System Message is a part of the prompt that provides instructions or context directly from the system's perspective. It sets the stage for the interaction, establishing rules, scenarios, or the setting for the Geb AI model to operate within. This is not generated in response to the user but is predefined by the designer of the prompt to guide the interaction.

**Example:**

**System Message**: "You are an AI trained to assist in creating detailed and accurate test cases. Focus on clarity and precision, and ensure all responses adhere to software testing standards."

This message informs the AI of its role in assisting with test case creation, setting expectations for the type of responses it should generate.

Assistant Message is the AI's response generated based on the user's input and the context provided by the system message. This message aims to fulfill the user's request for information, assistance, or interaction within the guidelines set by the system message.

**Example:**

* **User Message**: "Generate a test case for a login feature with email and password fields."
* **Assistant Message**: "Test Case: Login Feature
    * Objective: Verify that the user can log in using a valid email and password.
    * Steps:
        1. Navigate to the login page.
        2. Enter a valid email in the email field.
        3. Enter the corresponding password in the password field.
        4. Click the login button.
    * Expected Result: The user is redirected to the homepage after successful login.
    * Test Data: Use registered email: user@example.com and password: SecurePass123."

The assistant's message provides a structured test case based on the user's request, adhering to the guidelines set by the system message.

User Message is the input or query from the individual interacting with the Gen AI model. These messages are the user's side of the conversation, prompting the Gen AI to generate responses based on the context of the interaction as defined by the system message and the capabilities of the Gen AI.

**Example:**

**User Message**: "Can you add a test for password validation error handling?"

This message prompts the assistant to expand on the existing test cases by adding specific scenarios related to error handling.

To enhance the interactivity of a prompt, user can add multiple messages of any type by clicking the + icon, selecting the desired message type, and providing the relevant content. Additionally, user have the ability to delete, copy, and reorder messages to best fit the flow of the conversation, easily arranging them by dragging and dropping the message boxes as needed for optimal organization and presentation.

How to Use Variables

The variables within prompts add a layer of dynamic customization, allowing you to tailor prompts to specific needs or contexts.

Variables are denoted by double curly brackets (e.g., {{variable_name}}) and should be defined in the prompt's Context input box. Once a variable is entered into the CONTEXT, it automatically populates the VARIABLES section, where you can assign a value to that variable. This feature empowers users to create flexible and reusable prompts that can be easily adapted by changing the values of the variables as needed, without altering the entire prompt structure.

Note: User has the flexibility to define one or more variables in each prompt. Variables can also be defined in Messages.

How to Execute Prompt

To execute the prompt and get the output you have 2 options:

• Chat - is a specific type of input designed for conversational AI models, which aims to initiate or guide a dialogue. This can be in the form of a question, statement, or command that simulates human-like interaction, prompting the AI to produce a conversational response for engagement.
• Completion - is supplied to generative AI models, such as text or code generators, with the intent of the model continuing or completing the given input. The AI uses the context provided in the prompt to produce a coherent and contextually relevant extension or completion of the text.

Executing a Prompt Using the Chat Option:

1. Configure the Prompt: Initialize by providing the necessary context, identifying the prompt with a name, and defining variable values (if applicable).
