How AI Code Assistants Are Revolutionizing Test-Driven Development
· via Qodo
Summary: Generative AI writes plausible code, and plausible is the problem. TDD turns out to be a natural harness: tests written first give the assistant a checkable target, and the red-green cycle catches confident nonsense the same way it catches human mistakes. The tests themselves still need review, and the loop rewards small steps over big prompts.
Who should read it: developers using assistants daily who want more than autocomplete, and TDD practitioners curious what changes.
