Abstract

Verbatim from the release summary carried by 川观新闻 (2026-10-08): "近日，中国信通院云计算与数字化研究所发布《驾驭工程：赋能智能原生软件工程研究报告（2026年）》……驾驭工程作为面向智能体构建约束与反馈闭环的系统工程方法，成为推动智能原生软件工程走向规模化与可信化的关键支撑。" The report defines 驾驭工程 (Harness Engineering) as "为智能体构建运行环境、约束规则与反馈机制，承载统筹协同、规范治理、效率提升、安全保障四大职能，成为智能原生时代软件工程的核心管控框架"，and describes three paradigm shifts: "智能体从'被动的代码生成器'转变为'主动的工程参与者'；工程管控重心从'流程节点' 下沉至'运行时行为'；治理逻辑由流程驱动转为约束边界+反馈驱动。" Reported data points: "截至2026年5月，已有67.3%的软件相关企业将AI能力投入生产环节， 31.2%的主体完成智能体与核心研发流程的内嵌部署。其中，企业内AI代码生成、自动化测试等关键环节工具渗透率分别达到54.4%和49.1%。" On industry state: "2026年下半年驾驭工程进入开源基础设施爆发期，OpenAI于8月全面开源CodexHarness，DeepSeek同期发布开源Harness框架。" The report proposes "六大设计原则、六类核心技术能力与L1-L5成熟度模型" (per 智慧城市网's reproduction of the release) and forecasts a three-stage evolution: "2026—2027年为概念验证与标准形成期……2027—2028年为平台化与规模化期……2028年以后为基础设施化期，驾驭工程将成为智能原生开发的默认支撑。" It recommends "加快制定跨平台能力描述规范与互操作标准，推动开源生态建设与复合型人才培养". Note: the underlying report PDF was announced by CAICT but no first-party download page was located at collection time; all wording quoted above is from the cited coverage of the CAICT release.
