Release gates for agents
AI agent regression testing from traces to CI
Agent changes can pass a demo and still get worse in production. AgentClash turns traces, datasets, and escaped failures into repeatable tests, then blocks pull requests when scorecards or evidence regress.

What a gate checks
Regression signals from the workflows users actually run
Prompts, models, tools, retrieval, and sandbox images all move. AgentClash makes production-inspired workloads repeatable so the release decision is based on behavior, not a one-off transcript.
OTel-compatible trace import
Pinned datasets and golden examples
Baseline versus candidate scorecards
Replay timelines for every failed gate
Artifact checks for files, logs, and evidence
Cost and latency thresholds for production budgets
Pull request gates for model, prompt, RAG, and tool changes
Workflow
From production evidence to pull request gate
Import traces or datasets
Start from OTel-compatible production traces, curated examples, or escaped failures that already matter to the business.
Compare against a baseline
Run the candidate under the same constraints and compare correctness, latency, cost, and evidence against known-good behavior.
Block risky changes
Fail the pull request when the scorecard regresses past the release gate threshold.
Promote failures
Convert failed traces and dataset rows into reusable regression cases so the same mistake stays covered.
Start with docs
Wire regression gates into the release loop
Start with one dataset, trace import, or challenge pack and one release gate. Then add escaped failures as reusable cases instead of rebuilding the entire eval stack every time an agent changes.
FAQ
Questions teams ask before gating agent releases
What is AI agent regression testing?
AI agent regression testing reruns production-inspired tasks against a candidate agent, compares the result to a baseline, and flags behavior that got worse before it ships.
Can AgentClash use production traces or datasets?
Yes. AgentClash supports OTel-compatible trace import and pinned datasets so real failures, golden examples, and curated cases can become repeatable regression coverage.
How do AgentClash CI gates work?
AgentClash can run a challenge pack in CI, compare candidate and baseline scorecards, then fail a pull request when correctness, cost, latency, or required artifacts cross the threshold you set.
Can teams debug a failed agent gate?
Yes. Each run keeps replay evidence, tool calls, logs, artifacts, and scorecards so reviewers can see why the candidate failed instead of guessing from a final answer alone.
