Discover how agentic fitness functions combine AI agents and versioned rubrics to evaluate complex, judgment-heavy concerns—such as boundary fidelity, semantic contract drift, and stale ADR assumptions. Elevate evolutionary architecture governance with continuous, calibrated feedback loops.</p> <i>By Hemant Kumar Mahato, Łukasz Sieczkowski, Vijayasenthilkumar Kuppusamy</i> Artificial Intelligence AI Architecture Governance Code Quality Agentic AI Architecture Evolutionary Architecture InfoQ Certification Program Architecture Decision Records Architecture ICSAET AI, ML & Data Engineering Development Architecture & Design article Mon, 17 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT https://www.infoq.com/articles/agentic-fitness-functions-evolutionary-architecture/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Agile-articles Hemant Kumar Mahato, Łukasz Sieczkowski, Vijayasenthilkumar Kuppusamy 2026-08-17T11:00:00Z /articles/agentic-fitness-functions-evolutionary-architecture/en https://www.infoq.com/articles/system-comprehension-evolutionary-architecture/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Agile-articles <img src="https://res.infoq.com/articles/system-comprehension-evolutionary-architecture/en/headerimage/header-1786087830832.jpg"/><p>As AI commoditizes code output, system comprehension silently decays, creating cognitive debt that threatens safe architectural evolution. This article explores why human understanding must be treated as an essential architectural characteristic, offering actionable strategies, socio-technical metrics, and design checkpoints to preserve intent across modern engineering teams.</p> <i>By Jacobus Meintjes, Narayana Rengaswamy, Paul Katsande, Sureshbabu Bikki</i> Leadership Code Reviews Evolutionary Architecture InfoQ Certification Program Generative AI Architecture ICSAET Development Architecture & Design Culture & Methods article Mon, 10 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT https://www.infoq.com/articles/system-comprehension-evolutionary-architecture/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Agile-articles Jacobus Meintjes, Narayana Rengaswamy, Paul Katsande, Sureshbabu Bikki 2026-08-10T11:00:00Z /articles/system-comprehension-evolutionary-architecture/en
