The 2026 Agentic Coding Trends Report buried a stat that should be on every engineering leader's radar: 60% of enterprises are shipping untested code as AI accelerates software development.

In 2024–2025, AI coding copilots went mainstream. By mid-2026, 85% of developers use AI tools daily, and 46% of all production code is now AI-generated (Modall, 2026).
Velocity improved dramatically. Ship timelines compressed. Product teams celebrated.
