# Basic Strategy
|
|
|
|
The basic strategy controls whether the original plugin-generated test cases (without any strategies applied) are included in the final output.
|
|
|
|
## Implementation
|
|
|
|
The basic strategy accepts the following configuration options:
|
|
|
|
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|
|
| ------- | ------- | ------- | ----------------------------------- |
|
|
| enabled | boolean | true | Whether to include basic test cases |
|
|
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
|
|
```yaml title="promptfooconfig.yaml"
|
|
redteam:
|
|
language: ['es', 'fr'] # Test in Spanish and French
|
|
strategies:
|
|
- id: basic
|
|
config:
|
|
enabled: false # Only run tests with strategies applied
|
|
- id: jailbreak
|
|
- id: base64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
By default, promptfoo will:
|
|
|
|
1. Generate test cases from enabled plugins
|
|
2. Apply each strategy to generate additional test cases
|
|
3. Include both the original plugin test cases and strategy-generated test cases
|
|
|
|
When the basic strategy is disabled (`enabled: false`), only the strategy-generated test cases will be included in the final output. This can be useful when you want to focus solely on testing specific attack vectors through strategies.
|
|
|
|
## Use Cases
|
|
|
|
- **Testing strategy effectiveness**: Disable basic tests to isolate and evaluate how well your strategies are working
|
|
- **Reducing test volume**: If you have many plugins and strategies, disabling basic tests can reduce the total number of tests
|
|
- **Focused testing**: When you specifically want to test how your system handles modified/strategic inputs rather than basic plugin-generated tests
|
