What this question tests
Metrics and quality measurement for AI-generated output where 'quality' has both objective and subjective dimensions.
How to approach it
- Define quality across three layers: functional correctness (does it work without errors), code health (is it maintainable, secure, reasonably performant), and user satisfaction (does it match what was asked).
- For functional correctness, track automated test pass rate and post-deploy error/crash rate on generated apps.
- For code health, run static analysis on generated code to flag security issues, unused code, and anti-patterns, tracked as an issues-per-app score.
- For user satisfaction, use explicit feedback (thumbs up or down on a generation) paired with implicit signals like how much manual editing a user does after generation.
- Combine these into a composite quality score used to track model and prompt-engineering improvements over time.
- Segment quality by app complexity, since simple landing pages and complex CRUD apps have very different baseline quality expectations.
What a strong answer includes
- Separates quality into distinct, measurable layers instead of one vague 'good or bad' judgment.
- Pairs explicit user feedback with implicit behavioral signals like post-generation edit volume, which is harder to game.
- Uses static analysis for objective code health, not just relying on whether the app runs.
- Proposes segmentation by complexity so a fair comparison is made across different types of generated apps.
- Frames the composite score as a tool for tracking improvement over time, tying it to product iteration.
Common mistakes
- Using only 'did it run without crashing' as the sole quality bar, ignoring maintainability and security.
- Relying only on explicit user ratings, which are sparse and can be biased.
Likely follow-up questions
- How would you weight the different quality dimensions into one score?
- How would you validate that the implicit edit-volume signal really reflects quality?
- How would you use this metric to improve the underlying prompts or model choice?

- Users say the agent feels unreliable, yet usage keeps climbing. How would you reconcile those signals: what data, traces, user segments, and workflow breakdowns would you examine to isolate root causes, and how would you decide which reliability issues to fix first?Lovable · Metrics · Hard
