## How to Use the Guardrail Testing Playground

The Guardrail Testing Playground allows you to quickly test and compare the behavior of different guardrails with sample inputs.

### Steps to Test Guardrails

1. **Navigate to the Guardrails Section**
   - Open the LiteLLM Admin UI
   - Go to the **Guardrails** section

2. **Open Test Playground**
   - Click on the **Test Playground** tab at the top of the page

3. **Select Guardrails to Test**
   - Check the guardrails you want to compare
   - You can select multiple guardrails to see how they each respond to the same input

4. **Enter Your Input**
   - Type or paste your test input in the text area
   - This could be a prompt, message, or any text you want to validate against the guardrails

5. **Run the Test**
   - Click the **Test guardrails** button (or press Enter)

6. **View Results**
   - See the output from each selected guardrail
   - Compare how different guardrails handle the same input
   - Results will show whether the input passed or was blocked by each guardrail

## Use Cases

This is ideal for **Security Teams** & **LiteLLM Admins** evaluating guardrail solutions.

This brings the following benefits for LiteLLM users:

- **Compare guardrail responses**: test the same prompt across multiple providers (Lakera, Noma AI, Bedrock Guardrails, etc.) simultaneously.

- **Validate configurations**: verify your guardrails catch the threats you care about before production deployment.
