232: The role of AI in software testing - Anthony Shaw
Update: 2025-04-25
Description
AI is helping people write code.
Tests are one of those things that some people don't like to write.
Can AI play a role in creating automated software tests?
Well, yes. But it's a nuanced yes.
Anthony Shaw comes on the show to discuss the topic and try to get AI to write some test for my very own cards project.
We discuss:
- The promise of AI writing your tests for you
- Downsides to not writing tests yourself
- Bad ways to generate tests
- Good ways to ask AI for help in writing tests
- Tricks to get better results while using copilot and other AI tools
