Use tool ↗About Coval
Coval tests voice and chat agents by running simulated conversations against them, then scoring the results with configurable metrics. Teams can replay scenarios with noisy callers, interruptions and policy traps, monitor live production calls, and send samples to human reviewers to label failures. It works with agents built on voice-agent platforms, LiveKit, Pipecat or custom stacks, and exposes an API, CLI and MCP server. The vendor lists SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and GDPR compliance. It is operated by Datawave, Inc., which trades as Coval, and its methodology borrows from autonomous-vehicle simulation testing.

Pros & cons of Coval
Coval is built for teams that already have a voice or chat agent heading to production and need repeatable evidence that it behaves, which a handful of manual test calls cannot give. It covers simulation, live monitoring and human review under one roof, and the price list is published. It is more tooling than a solo builder prototyping a bot will need, and simulation minutes burn through the cheaper tiers quickly.
Pros
- Covers simulation, production monitoring and human review in one platform
- Published tiers with unlimited seats from the Starter plan
- API, CLI and MCP server fit into existing developer workflows
- SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and GDPR coverage is claimed on every plan
Cons
- Entry price is $100 a month with only 100 simulation minutes
- Starter retains traces for 30 days and offers email support only
- The Starter and Growth trial needs a credit card
Best for
- Product and QA teams shipping voice agents in regulated industries such as finance, insurance or healthcare
- Companies comparing voice-agent vendors on the same scripted scenarios
- Engineering teams who want regression tests for prompt and model changes
Not for
- Hobbyists building a single voice demo
- Teams looking for the voice agent itself rather than a tool to test it
Watch out: Simulation and monitoring minutes are capped per plan and overages are billed per minute, so a large regression suite can cost more than the headline price.
