Building on the interest around our previous topic, Harness Engineering in Practice: From Requirements to Implementation, this follow-up talk revisits and expands on those ideas through the lens of the software factory.
As AI assistants become increasingly capable, the challenge is no longer just about getting them to perform individual tasks. It’s about designing the engineering environments, workflows, and feedback mechanisms that enable them to work reliably as part of a larger software development process.
This session will explore:
How the principles of harness engineering extend beyond individual AI-assisted development tasks to support agent-driven workflows across the full software development lifecycle (SDLC).
What the software factory concept means for the way teams design and structure software development workflows.
How engineering harnesses, standards, and feedback mechanisms contribute to more reliable and repeatable AI-assisted development.
How these ideas connect, and what taking the next step towards a software factory could look like in practice.
