# Introduction

The Vals platform is designed to allow you to easily test LLM applications -- copilots,
RAG systems, and more. This documentation covers how to use both the web application and the CLI/SDK tools.

At the core of the platform are **Test Suites**. Each Test Suite is designed to evaluate your model’s performance in a specific area.

A Test Suite is composed of multiple **Tests**. Each "Test" has exactly one input, typically representing user input. For example, if you
are testing a math copilot, an input might be:

> What is 3 \* 2?

Each Test also includes a set of **Checks**. A Check evaluates whether the model's response meets a specific expectation. For the input above, a Check might be:

> The output includes the number 6.

The rest of this documentation explains how to create Test Suites and run them against models.
To get started, see [Creating Test Suites](/web_app/creating_test_suites).
