The growing disparity between the speed at which code is being produced, accelerated by AI coding tools, and the capacity of quality, security, and governance activities to keep pace with that output. As the inner loop accelerates and more software is generated faster, the outer loop becomes a bottleneck.
The quality gap refers to this imbalance: more software arriving at testing and review stages than teams have the time or tools to handle thoroughly, creating pressure to either sacrifice coverage, slow down releases, or find new ways to scale quality work.
