with Pramin Pradeep — Co-Founder & CEO, BotGauge

Pramin Pradeep, co-founder and CEO of BotGauge, joins Keith Richman to discuss what happens to software quality when AI can generate code faster than teams can test it. In this episode of Applied Intelligence, Pramin explores the rise of "shadow code" — untested AI-generated code that quietly ships to production — and how companies can use agentic end-to-end testing, human-in-the-loop guardrails, and smarter QA budgets to release reliably at speed.
