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
