Shadow Mode Continuous Integration: The Missing Test Layer for AI Agents

Autonomous agents require a more comprehensive CI/CD pipeline that evaluates their behavior, not just their artifacts. Containerized shadow mode allows platform teams to control and test AI agents in an isolated environment. This approach captures structured traces and evaluates behavior against statistical and policy baselines. It's a practical control point for testing AI agents. This method is essential for ensuring the reliability and trustworthiness of AI agents.
