How to Keep AI-Generated Code Quality High Without Adding Reviewers
Blog post from Aviator
AI-generated code can increase pull request volume and size, making simply adding reviewers inefficient because many defects arise from misunderstandings of business intent rather than easily spotted syntax issues. The proposed approach defines quality through alignment with agreed intent, adherence to team rules, and verified runtime behavior, using small stacked PRs, concrete acceptance criteria, reusable automated checks based on recurring review feedback, and testing in preview environments. Human reviewers remain responsible for approving intent, resolving ambiguous failures, and focusing attention on high-risk changes involving security, payments, data, concurrency, or irreversible effects, while routine mechanical checks are automated. The article warns that AI-generated tests may reinforce an agent’s misunderstanding or be weakened to pass builds, so test changes require scrutiny. It presents Aviator Verify as a tool that evaluates submitted acceptance criteria through code scans, end-to-end scenarios, and reusable invariants, while acknowledging that it cannot check omitted requirements or replace linters, security tools, tests, or human judgment.
