Agentic AI research reframes the software development lifecycle
A research review describes how agentic tools move software engineering from code completion toward supervised delegated execution.
• The unit of AI coding work is shifting from a line of code to a task, repository, or workflow.
• Agentic SDLC needs evaluation, governance, technical-debt control, and review discipline.
• Teams adopting agents need process design, not only tool subscriptions.
Builder take
• Add acceptance criteria, test commands, and rollback guidance to every agentic coding workflow.
