Comment on How well do agents use test/verification techniques?parent

Comments

Most developers are not good at testing. That's why the role of test engineer exists.

I've seen in multiple projects things like assertTrue(true).

I'm sure the agent is better in testing than average enterprise developer.

big tech is moving / has moved away from the role.

Unfortunately for the users, testing has been pushed to them. You can deploy whatever slop you want - nobody cares. More lines of code!
