From the Lab to Production: Making Cutting-Edge Testing Practical
Q: What advice would you give to a brand new developer?
Do not underestimate random testing; it goes a long way before using any other fancy tool.
Slow down to go fast: TDD in the age of AI with Clare Sudbery
Q: How do you foresee our workflow evolving over time regarding writing tests and test-driven development with AI tools?
There will be a realization of the need for guardrails and human oversight, leading to a divergence between quality software practices and rushed, poorly structured applications.
Slow down to go fast: TDD in the age of AI with Clare Sudbery
Q: When ChatGBT first became wildly available, what was your gut reaction as someone who spent years advocating for TDD?
I was highly skeptical about how AI could influence coding practices and whether LLMs could truly understand the complexities involved in software development.
