The push for Agentic models is because people aren't working or they are failing to complete what they are contractually obligated to.
I'm working with a client who has APEX code with 0% test coverage. The last consultant company deployed APEX without any test classes. That is a failure on the Salesforce partner, since you need test classes if you want to update any APEX code, and it leaves the client with more work and more costs.
I used AI to write 100% test coverage in less than 1 hour. I had to give it direction because the first implementation was not to the Salesforce Dev Test Standards. So I downloaded the SFDC Developer PDF guides on APEX and gave it to AI Studio, and was able to write the test classes correctly.
Agents will do what they are programmed and prompted to do, and this is really why corporations are moving in that direction.
1 hour on writing the code, and then 30 minutes on testing. There were 3 tests in the class, the project isn't large, ~200 lines of code, and the point is that the team that deployed it failed to provide this.
It's not complicated; it's a failure in process and work that they are required to provide based on their Salesforce Partner agreements, and to meet minimum standards.
I already stated the language; it's written in Salesforce APEX. Yes, the code was reviewed and passed all tests within Salesforce as well.
Salesforce partners often upload "Dummy" test methods or fail to provide the test classes, as this requires additional time. It's more a reflection on the partner than the individual programmer, since I've been in the industry, I know that devs are thrown onto multiple projects at once.
However, with Agents, you can reduce that time. Nevertheless, companies are still failing to do even that. So that is why I think corporations are pushing for more agents; the basics are being skipped because the teams working on it don't have the time.
