I've found the process of building good reliable CI that thoroughly covers everything has been greatly improved by LLMs. There's so much tedious plumbing and grunt work involved in building CI and automated testing infrastructure for bespoke products that they can handle just fine while you concentrate on the important bits - I would say it's an area where agentic workflows are even more suited than regular product code.
- LtWorf 1mo ago100% coverage and useful tests aren't the same thing. Why are we still not aware of this?
- p1necone 1mo agoI'm speaking in the context of building scaffolding for e2e testing, not the tests themselves. When I say "everything" I mean the frontend, backend, database, seeded data, optimizing runtime etc, I'm not talking about loc coverage. I would not recommend using llms to generate the tests themselves without heavy guidance and review, and you're right that 100% coverage is often a counterproductive goal if the code under test is anything less than pure business logic.
