The New Stack: Building an agentic software factory? Start with the sensor.
The article argues that agentic software factories are limited by their verification step, which it calls the sensor, rather than by coding agents. It defines three sensor properties (latency, fidelity, bandwidth) and suggests tracking time to signal, escape rate and concurrent verification capacity. The article is written by a team that sells a product for per-change realistic environments and presents that approach as the solution.
What changes for platform teams
Platform teams evaluating agent-driven pipelines can use the proposed metrics to find which verification property is weakest before raising agent autonomy. The article does not describe a specific tool change, and its recommended per-change environment approach comes from the vendor's own view.
