Agent Reliability QA: The Next AI Category Is Stress-Testing Agents, Not Building Them
DevWithTea123 · reddit · 2026-09-24
A Reddit post argues the next big AI category won't build agents but stress-test them. Dangerous failures often look like success: smooth conversation, a 200 API response, the agent confidently saying "done" — while it updated the wrong record, repeated an action, used stale state, or never finished the task. The author is building autonomous QA: AI users that behave like messy humans, stress-test agents across multi-turn workflows, and verify what actually happened underneath — less "unit testing for agents", more an autonomous QA layer. Early stage, but agent reliability is poised to become a bigger conversation as agents take real-world actions.
