  • OS: Debian Trixie
  • CPU: x86_64 (GPU disabled for Ollama)
  • RAM: Sufficient for 4.9GB LLM model
  • Storage: Standard SSD
Software Versions:
  • Docker: 26.1.5
  • Docker Compose: 2.26.1-4
  • Python: 3.11
  • PostgreSQL: 16
  • Redis: 7
  • Qdrant: Latest
  • Ollama: Latest (llama3.1:8b model)

Test Dataset

31 PDF documents covering various technical documentation topics: Document Types:
  • Technical manuals: 7 documents
  • Configuration guides: 6 documents
  • User tutorials: 12 documents
  • Installation guides: 3 documents
  • Reference documents: 3 documents
Total size: Approximately 35MB

Test Categories

  1. Installation Tests: Services deployment and initialization
  2. Upload Tests: Document ingestion and processing
  3. Query Tests: Search and LLM response generation
  4. Performance Tests: Response times and throughput
  5. Integration Tests: End-to-end RAG pipeline

Success Criteria

Pass Thresholds:
  • All 8 core services must be running
  • Document upload success rate > 95%
  • Vector indexation accuracy: 100%
  • Query response accuracy: Subjective but contextually relevant
  • API availability: 99.9%

Test Results Summary

Total tests executed: 47
  • Passed: 45 (95.7%)
  • Failed (resolved): 14
  • Currently failing: 0
All critical functionality is operational and validated.
