Scripted tests can’t keep up with AI-written code. Datadog is betting agents can.

Engineering teams using AI to write software are finding the SDLC bottleneck has shifted from coding to later testing stages that still require test creation and maintenance. Datadog bought Propolis earlier this year and says its approach can generate agent-written, goal- and output-oriented tests, while reporters note Anthropic engineers are shipping 8 times as much code as before. As a result, platforms like Datadog are moving testing from mostly human-written scripts toward AI-driven test generation tied to observability data like logs and traces.
