AI-generated tests as ceremony

Read Original

The article critiques the use of LLMs (AI) to generate automated tests, framing it as 'tests as ceremony' rather than a rigorous application of the scientific method. It questions how we verify AI-generated code works, challenges the focus on code quantity over quality, and discusses the implications for software development processes and quality assurance.
