Automate Test Writing with AI

General

Request tests right after writing code

AI coding agents generate the most accurate tests for code you just wrote. Right after writing code is when context is richest, so requesting tests then covers edge cases well. Instructing it to reference existing test patterns also maintains consistency.

How to Use

1

Request tests right after writing code โ€” when context is freshest

2

Instruct to reference existing test patterns: "follow spec/requests/ pattern"

3

Explicitly request edge cases: "include nil, empty string, duplicate cases"

4

TDD approach: Having tests written first, then requesting implementation is also effective
