That's my experience with agentic development so far, a lot of extra time goes into testing.

Problem is, the way I've been trained to test isn't exactly antagonistic. QA does that kind of thing. Programmers writing tests are generally rather doing spot checks that only make sense if the code is generally understood and trustworthy. Code LLMs produce is usually broken in subtle, hard to spot ways.
