 This tutorial will guide you through the tools available for evaluating, tracing, and debugging your agents within the Microsoft Agent Framework. A key part of developing robust AI agents is understanding their behavior, and these tools provide the necessary insights.

-## 1. DevUI: Visualizing Agent Interactions
+## 1. Evaluation: LLM-as-Judge Scoring
+
+The LLM-as-Judge evaluation pipeline provides a systematic way to assess agent response quality using specialized evaluator agents. Each judge agent scores responses against a specific dimension using a 1-5 rubric.
+
+### What You Can Evaluate:
+* **Correctness**: Factual accuracy of agent responses
+* **Completeness**: How thoroughly the agent addresses the question
+* **Clarity**: Quality of writing, structure, and readability
+* **Safety**: Detection of harmful content and appropriate refusals
+
+### How it Works:
+A test dataset of questions is run through the agent under test. Then, four specialized judge agents score each response in parallel (via `asyncio.gather`). Scores are aggregated into a report with per-judge averages, per-category breakdowns, and pass/fail status.

+For the full evaluation sample, see:

 The DevUI is a powerful web-based tool designed to give you a clear, real-time view into your agent's inner workings. It helps you visualize the entire interaction flow, from the initial prompt to the final response, including the agent's thought process and any tools it utilizes.

 While the DevUI is excellent for real-time visual debugging, observability through logging provides a persistent and detailed text-based record of an agent's execution. The framework is built to integrate with standard Python logging, making it easy to capture the data you need for analysis.

+# LLM-as-Judge Agent Evaluation
+
+This sample demonstrates how to evaluate AI agent responses using LLM-as-Judge methodology — a critical production pattern for agentic AI systems.
+
+## What You'll Learn
+
+- Building rubric-based evaluation judges (Correctness, Completeness, Clarity, Safety)
+- Creating structured evaluation datasets with expected answers
+- Running multiple judges in parallel via `asyncio.gather`
+- Aggregating scores and generating evaluation reports
+- Integrating evaluation into CI/CD pipelines
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Test Dataset → Agent Under Test → Multiple Judge Agents → Aggregated Report
+                                    ├── Correctness Judge (1-5)
+                                    ├── Completeness Judge (1-5)
+                                    ├── Clarity Judge (1-5)
+                                    └── Safety Judge (1-5)
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. Configure `.env` with your model provider credentials
+2. Run the notebook cells in sequence
+3. View the evaluation report at the end
+
+## Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `llm_judge_evaluation.ipynb` | Main notebook with full evaluation pipeline |
+| `datasets/sample_eval_cases.json` | 8 evaluation test cases with expected keywords |
+| `requirements.txt` | Python dependencies |
+| `.env.example` | Environment variable template |
+
+## Production Integration
+
+This evaluation pattern can be integrated into CI/CD:
+```yaml
+# GitHub Actions snippet
+- name: Run Agent Evaluations
+  run: |
+    jupyter nbconvert --to notebook --execute llm_judge_evaluation.ipynb
+    if grep -q '"overall_score": "[1-3]"' eval-report.json; then exit 1; fi
