Remediation Is Becoming a Software Delivery Capacity Problem
Futurum Group, Wednesday, November 4th, 2026
A Futurum brief with Google Cloud argues fixing code flaws is now a delivery capacity problem and maps the CodeMender remediation agent to six needs.
Futurum Research says finding software flaws is getting cheaper while fixing them is not, with AI generating most merged code at 40% of organizations and only 34% of development time going to new software.
The bottleneck is now the queue between a validated finding and an approved fix, including pull requests awaiting review and patches awaiting tests.
The brief reports that 75% of organizations had a production incident involving AI-generated code or agents in the past year, yet only 43% mandate human review of AI code.
Produced in partnership with Google Cloud, the brief defines six requirements for AI code remediation agents and maps Google Cloud's CodeMender against them.
