Agentic AI systems can produce code faster than human reviewers can process pull requests, creating bottlenecks and accumulating technical debt. The solution involves rethinking testing strategies: moving toward test impact analysis, selective code review based on risk, and automated validation that allows AI agents to deploy code directly when tests pass. Future development lifecycles will be less linear, with engineers focusing more on supporting AI systems and maintaining test quality rather than manual code review. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
