“How do you know your AI agent works?” Not “has anyone complained” — how do you know. Most teams answer that question with a demo. A demo is not evidence, and the moment an auditor, a regulator or an executive asks for evidence, the gap becomes obvious. This course closes that gap. You will not learn how to build an agent. You will learn how to prove one works, catch it failing, and sign off a release you can defend — using nine artifacts you build as you go, none of which require writing a line of code.
Why agents break every testing habit you have
A test suite assumes the same input gives the same output. An agent samples from a distribution. It assumes a finite set of paths — an agent with six tools over ten steps has a path space you cannot enumerate. It assumes failures announce themselves. An agent that invents a policy clause returns a beautifully formatted, confident, completely wrong answer with an HTTP 200. Nothing goes red. Governance says what should be true. Assurance proves what is true. This course is about the second one.
