Infrastructure-code agents need test feedback

SWE-InfraBench evaluates language models on incremental AWS CDK infrastructure edits and reports that multi-turn agents using unit-test feedback outperform single-shot model attempts. Why it matters: Infrastructure automation is unforgiving: an agent that can run tests, inspect failures, and revise is more relevant than a model that only generates plausible configuration code once.

Try this: For any infrastructure-generation assistant, require a sandbox, unit tests or policy checks, failure inspection, and a human approval step before deployment.
