Testing Checklist

Visual Verification

• Launch Gradio app: python app.py
• Check Comparison & Analysis tab loads
• Verify Explorer tab loads
• Confirm all CSS styles applied correctly
• Test responsive design on mobile

Functional Tests

• Comparison tab: Select agents and verify radar updates
• Comparison tab: Change metric dropdown updates bar chart
• Strategy heatmap displays with correct symbols
• Explorer: Select different prompts loads agent outputs
• All HTML content renders properly (no encoding issues)

Data Validation

• Strategy extraction identifies 2+ strategies per agent
• Heatmap shows mix of ✓ and - marks
• Quality scores match main leaderboard
• Agent names displayed consistently
• Prompt details match data file

Edge Cases

• Empty agent selection handled gracefully
• Long text content truncated appropriately
• Missing fields show "N/A" or skip
• Single agent selection works (shows only 1 series on radar)
• No agents with results for prompt shows placeholder
