Discover how Harness Builds combines Test Intelligence, code coverage, and quality signals to help developers and AI agents validate changes faster and improve code quality. AI has changed the speed at which we can write code. Developers can move from an idea to a pull request faster, agents can work through changes autonomously, and the amount of code moving through development pipelines is only going up. But writing the code is only the beginning.

Why do tickets about a slow application keep arriving while every server, link and service check reports normal? That mismatch is the problem end user experience monitoring exists to solve. A healthy server is one thing, but the business notices something else: whether people can finish their work or complete a purchase without delays or errors. Monitoring in most IT operations groups was built to watch the systems from the inside, so it reports CPU load, memory and uptime.

Why do users at a branch complain about choppy calls and stalled apps when every WAN circuit on the dashboard still shows up? A link can be reachable without being healthy. Delay and packet loss can rise for hours on a live circuit, and a simple up-or-down check will report nothing unusual the whole time. WAN link monitoring checks the quality of each site-to-site connection by having routers send their own test packets and time the replies.

A pull request goes up. The reviewer wants to see it running, not just read the diff, so someone pings the team: can I get an environment for this? Depending on who's around, that could take an hour. It could take until tomorrow. By the time the environment exists, the reviewer has moved on to something else, and getting their attention back is its own task. What if the preview URL was already sitting in the PR before anyone had to ask?
