Experts from TestMU AI, IBM, Meta, and Accelirate share how this gap manifests: unverified AI-generated changes, shallow code reviews as PR volume explodes, and audit failures in regulated industries where a green build proves little. Recommended mitigations include tracking test escape rate as a named metric, requiring evidence trails for AI-assisted changes, routing low-risk PRs to automated reviewers, and treating validation as a continuous practice rather than a one-time gate — especially as agentic systems make non-deterministic behavior the norm. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
