Imaginary Test Data. Real Token Bill.
Testing AI applications with invented traffic looks fine until real users arrive. Then come the retries, the fallback models, and the token bill.

Testing AI applications with invented traffic looks fine until real users arrive. Then come the retries, the fallback models, and the token bill.
AI pushed throughput up 59%, yet median delivery got worse. The bottleneck moved to validation. How replaying production traffic in CI closes the gap.
Metrics, logs, and traces were built for humans and cheap storage. AI inverts both assumptions, and the next maturity level is a deterministic replay sandbox.
A second run of our AI bug-fixing benchmark shows where captured traffic lifts agents toward 90%, why service maps barely help, and which bugs still fail.
MSA clauses and contractual guarantees aren't an architecture. If your production traffic leaves your cloud, you're trusting a policy, not a system.
AI-generated code breaks traditional mocking. Here's how BYOC capture and replay with proxymock keeps verification grounded in real production traffic.
I tested 100 bugs across 240 microservices the model has never seen. Alert only: 51% pass rate, wrong service 34% of the time. Traffic captures: 77%.
