Explainability testing

Explainability testing is a test echnique specific to LLMs. It checks if an LLM can give you an explanation on how it got to an answer. This can be both in giving a logical explanation on how it decided on something in the answer or giving the sources of the information it based itself on. When LLMs pass explainability tests it gives users transparancy and trust in the application. But it's also a useful feature for the development team as it gives a way to check ethical compliance and to debug answers.
