Shifting Quality Gates Left in the AI Era: Agentic Quality Engineering Architecture and Implementation Template
The article explains how AI‑driven development moves bottlenecks from coding to review, testing, and release, arguing that quality gates must be shifted left by encapsulating verification into an Agentic Quality Engineering framework—comprising a Harness runtime, Planner Agent, specialist Subagents, reusable Skills, an evidence bus, and a rule‑based gate engine—while providing concrete contract templates, risk‑based gate levels, and metrics to measure effectiveness.
