Shownotes
Ryan welcomes Suneet Malhotra, Senior Manager of Test Engineering at Motorola Solutions, to chat about building end-to-end agentic SDLC pipelines using MCPs, using Cohen’s kappa to evaluate multiple LLMs-as-judges, and how you can improve requirements by shifting QA left through a specification enrichment stage immediately after the design phase.
Episode notes:
You can learn more about Suneet’s five-agent SDLC (and see the companion code) on his GitHub (github.com/SuneetMalhotra).
Read the papers discussed: Cross-Layer Observability for LLM-Assisted Test Automation: A Reference Architecture and Web Feasibility Study (papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=69…) and Cross-Layer Observability for LLM-Assisted Test Automation — Reference Implementation and Evaluation Data (v1.5.2, JSS In-Practice) (zenodo.org/records/20618807).
