Answer the first question below to begin

AI Makes Your Developers Faster. Deployment Frequency Went Up.

But somewhere between the velocity gains and the accelerating release cadence, confidence in every release started to slip. The code is moving faster than your ability to validate it, and The gap widens every sprint. This assessment tells you where your team stands, what it's costing you, and what to fix first.

63%

of teams ship more often since adopting AI coding tools

33%

are actually confident in what they are shipping

107%

more test maintenance effort with AI-generated code

THE PROBLEM

AI Made You Faster. Your Software Testing Did Not Keep Up.

When AI coding tools enter the workflow, development velocity goes up. That part works. But testing capacity does not scale automatically alongside it.

The Code Gets Written Faster. The Tests Do Not Write Themselves.

A gap opens. Invisible at first. Then every sprint it gets a little wider. More code in production with less validation. Maintenance burden is climbing. Release confidence falling.

This Is Not Your Team Failing.

It is what happens when velocity outpaces quality infrastructure. The teams that do not catch it find out through a customer report.

WHERE DO YOU STAND

Three Stages. Every Team Is at One of Them.

Your stage determines what is costing you the most right now and what needs to change first.

STAGE
1
STAGE
2
STAGE
3
Stage 1

Manual Testing Era

Testing is manual. Deploys are slow. Quality depends on human effort alone. Velocity is capped by process, not capability.

Where Teams Sit

20% - 30% of Teams
Stage 2 Most Common

Velocity Achieved. Quality Lagging.

Shipping daily. AI tools running. Testing has not caught up. Confidence is slipping. The gap widens every sprint

AI-adopting Teams

60% - 70% of Teams
Stage 3 Your Target

Scaled Quality Practices

High velocity. High confidence. Testing scales with development. Issues caught early. Every release feels earned, not feared.

WARNING SIGNS

Recognize Any of These?

Quality problems do not announce themselves. They accumulate in maintenance overhead, production incidents, and that feeling before every deployment.

Development Speed Is Growing Faster Than Testing Capacity.

Every sprint without a testing investment widens the gap. Teams that catch this early close it in 60 to 90 days. Teams that don't spend years catching up.

You Deploy More Often and Trust Each Deployment Less.

When speed and confidence move in opposite directions, your quality system has eroded. The result is higher incident rates, unplanned work, and developer burnout.

Quality Issues Surface in Production or Through Customer Reports.

Every production defect is a failed quality gate. Finding bugs through customers is the most expensive outcome, and it is preventable.

Your Team Spends More Time Maintaining Tests Than Writing New Ones.

Test maintenance is the hidden tax of AI-accelerated development. More AI-generated code means more edge cases and less time expanding coverage.

Tests Break Every Time the Product Changes.

Fragile tests create a perverse incentive to never refactor or improve. The codebase calcifies and quality infrastructure starts blocking speed instead of enabling it.

If Two or More of These Sound Familiar, You Are in Stage 2.

That is where 60 to 70 percent of AI-adopting engineering teams currently sit. There is a clear path out.
