To validate LLM provider integrations, run pytest unit tests that mock API responses to exercise generate, stream, async_generate, and async_stream methods. This ensures required files and registrations exist and comply with the BaseLLMProvider interface.

End-to-end LLM provider testing covers unit, integration, and manual tests. It validates streaming capabilities, authentication flows, retry logic, and error handling to ensure the provider functions reliably within the AICA ecosystem.

You test async and streaming capabilities by running tests that explicitly exercise the async_generate and async_stream methods. This process uses mocked API responses to validate the provider's asynchronous and streaming behaviors without real network calls.

Yes, you can debug LLM provider authentication and retry logic using pytest. The testing workflow applies mocked API responses to simulate connection failures and authentication errors, verifying that the provider's error handling and retry mechanisms work correctly.

The best way to ensure BaseLLMProvider interface compliance is to run an automated validation suite that checks for required files, registrations, and the correct implementation of generate, stream, async_generate, and async_stream methods using mocked responses.
