A buyer’s guide to code quality and security in the age of AI and agentic development

AI agents can now write code faster than any team can realistically review it, and that shift changes what a code quality and security platform actually needs to do. 

This buyer's guide breaks down the evaluation criteria that matter in the agentic era: what genuinely reduces risk, what earns real developer adoption instead of workaround culture, and what scales across the full SDLC rather than just the parts easiest to demo. 

Whether you're auditing your current stack or building the case for something new, this guide gives you a framework to make that call with confidence, not just a vendor feature checklist.
