@orchun * after all, LLMs are good at parsing without a rigorous give/when/then. With context, we can instead say “oh, and also…” rather than writing gherkin ourselves.

@orchun I might be coming to similar conclusions. Kind of a “spec what you know, investigate with dialog and exploratory testing.” Though I liked having CC write unit tests because I can look for all the expected edge cases, in the future I think gherkin or something simple like that would suffice. We write (or suggest*) some, the AI writes some, we review those.

Ultimately we can’t give up test-driven *thinking*.

@gotofritz the repo doesn’t reflect what I learned, fwiw.

@gotofritz yeah needs more editing. Chapters would be nice. Once Scott starts typing, it’s far more interesting. Play at 1.5 speed? 😆
@orchun I’m certainly unsure of whether it followed Red-Green-Clean, but I seem to recall insisting it write tests first in some way. (Did we? I don’t recall.) This is exactly my problem with AI: I feel the need to review all tests, and it feels more difficult than crafting tests as we go. I’ll be looking more closely at clusters of tests in part 2.

The pivotal session that is helping me see a path forward for AI-augmented test-driven development.

(Video is a bit rough 'n' ready, but packed with insights...er, once we got going...)

Essential Test-Driven Development | InformIT

Test-Driven Development (TDD) is at the heart of low-defect agile software development, enabling incremental development and emergent design without degrading quality. By allowing software teams to create comprehensive regression tests that immediately pinpoint tiny errors, it gives them confidence to enhance functionality with incredible speed.
