Frustration with debugging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines is a hot topic amongst developers, as evidenced by a lively discussion on Reddit. Recognizing this pain point, one developer is creating a new tool that leverages synthetic test data to evaluate RAG components individually. This approach aims to identify specific failure modes, isolate bottlenecks within the pipeline, and provide users with a diagnostic report offering targeted recommendations for improvement. The online conversation highlighting this challenge and the potential solution can be found on Reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1mva8q1/is_anyone_else_finding_it_a_pain_to_debug_rag/
