    Trying to coordinate initial code for a new project - the guys had done a lot “because ai”.

    …… but none of the tests actually verify anything …… and half of them still manage to fail

      AI generated test cases are exactly the fight I’m about to have to go through. It’s gonna be such a metric pain in the ass

        This is a narrow area where ai can help, but like anything else, someone needs to go over it. I’ve used it successfully here, but I evaluate the results and iterate it correctly its mistakes

        Last time I worked with this guy he had generated more test cases than there were on the entire product, yet his module still managed less coverage. Lots of useless test cases, lots of test cases that don’t verify anything, lots of duplication. Most importantly it’s generating lots of code that now has to be run on every build and needs to be maintained forever
