Your Agent Aced the Task. Will It Do It Again?
Not a pilot. IBM Research deployed consistency testing across 300+ agent workflows — and found half weren't reproducing their wins.
Why it matters
Agent reliability is the blocking issue for enterprise deployment. IBM's framework (ALTK-Evolve) addresses the core problem: agents that ace a task once often fail silently on the next run. This is production-blocking, and practitioners need testing patterns.
The key facts
