Testing with the Coding Agent
Thursday, September 24, 2026 - 1:30pm to 2:30pm
Software testing is moving inside AI coding agents. These agents can generate code, tests, environments, data, reviews, and fixes in the same continuous loop, but that creates a dangerous question: should the system that wrote the bug also decide whether the software is ready to ship? Jason Arbon explores how testing changes when software is generated dynamically, requirements evolve through prompts, and agents work autonomously for hours or days. You will learn how to separate generation from independent validation, capture evidence from agent trajectories, test changing prompts and...
