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.
