Abstract

As agentic AI scales across the enterprise, traditional quality assurance is no longer enough. This whitepaper introduces the integrated quality fabric for agentic systems, a continuous approach to assuring autonomous and multi-agent systems. It explores how embedded quality controls address unpredictable behavior, reasoning failures, hallucination, drift, security, and performance. The paper also presents a layered architecture, hybrid assurance strategy and the NAU-A model to make agentic quality scalable, predictable, and trusted.
