AI agents require new 'eval estate' for development workflows

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The integration of AI agents into software development workflows necessitates a new layer of evaluation, analogous to Continuous Integration (CI) for human-written code. This 'eval estate' involves repeatable, scored tests of agent outputs against defined criteria, moving beyond simple test passage to assess correctness, scope, and safety. Companies like Anthropic and Braintrust Ai are pioneering this approach, with Braintrust's eval-driven development (EDD) scoring judgments across multiple dimensions, unlike traditional binary testing. AI

    Evals Are Your New CI: The Acceptance Layer for Work Your Team Didn't Write

    <p>Your agents are productive. Pull request volume is up, the demos land, and the pipeline is green on every merge. Here is the uncomfortable part: green means the code compiled and the tests passed, and increasingly the same agent that wrote the code wrote the tests. Nothing in …
