This pull request introduces a comprehensive validation framework designed to enhance the testing capabilities of memory search strategies within the Dooders/AgentMemory project. The framework focuses on both functional and performance testing, ensuring thorough validation and insightful performance metrics for memory system components.

Why These Changes Are Needed

The need for a robust validation framework arises from the complex nature of memory search strategies, where both accuracy and efficiency are critical. This framework provides a structured approach to validate the functionality and performance of search strategies, thereby improving the reliability and scalability of the memory system.

Changes

• Documentation Enhancements:

  • Added a detailed README.md file in the validation directory. This documentation outlines the framework's purpose, directory structure, components, usage examples, and best practices. It also delineates categories for functional and performance tests, performance metrics, and logging features.

• Framework Implementation:

  • Developed a base ValidationTest class in validation/framework/validation_framework.py for standardized functional testing. This includes methods for test setup, execution, result validation, and result saving.
  • Created a PerformanceTest subclass that extends ValidationTest with additional performance testing capabilities such as scaling tests, concurrent load testing, and performance visualization.
  • Implemented a factory function create_validation_test to facilitate the creation of ValidationTest or PerformanceTest instances based on specified test types.

• Example Validation:

  • Added an example validation script validate_example.py in validation/search/example/. This script demonstrates the practical implementation of the framework, covering basic content search, case sensitivity, and metadata filtering tests, along with result validation and logging.

Testing

The testing of this framework will involve running both the functional and performance scripts provided in the example to ensure they execute without errors and provide meaningful validation and performance metrics.

Impact

This newly implemented framework will significantly enhance the testing infrastructure by ensuring robust functionality and performance of the memory search strategies. It sets the foundation for future testing improvements and supports the ongoing development of scalable and efficient memory systems.
