alt Hacker NewsI think shallow tests is the the most important issue on this list. AI works well if there's a good feedback loop. Without very good test cases and/or some kind of formal specification, the feedback loop is a haphazard, unrepeatable mess and code quality will inevitably decline.
Has anyone figured out a good way to fix shallow tests with AI? Intuitively, in webapps, there are many minute UX things folks on the team used to manually dev-test. not saying that was done consistently across all team members or always done, but it existed.
Now it's gone. Spec-driven dev isn't the answer either, some of the UX bugs areas are simply not something that ever existed in the regression suite.
