Episode 56: AI-Driven Testing

Isaac and Jeffrey discuss the potential of AI-driven testing and code generation. They reference an article by Codium AI, which explores the use of AI to generate tests and increase code coverage. While the generated tests may not be perfect, they can serve as scaffolding for legacy code and help identify areas for improvement. The conversation also touches on the idea of using AI to provide business context and legal compliance guidance during code refactoring. Overall, the discussion highlights the potential benefits of AI in improving code quality and reducing risk.
