AGENTIC AI 2.0 / XTRACT.IO
Checking what the agent actually did.
Validating multi-stage agent workflows for context, execution, approvals and meaningful completion.
Each transition deserves a test.
Inside the validation
THE QUESTION
Did the task actually succeed?
A workflow can report completion while required inputs are missing or its final output is unusable. I check the relationship between stage status and the actual result.
MY CONTRIBUTION
- Validate required inputs and failure propagation.
- Check context after requirement changes.
- Verify human confirmation and review gates.
- Compare the final output with the requested schema.
THE QUALITY SIGNAL
Evidence over status labels.
Reproducible test steps, expected versus actual behaviour, and defect evidence that makes the mismatch clear to the team.
