Could you share an example test (if it doesn't violate your privacy)? Your answer is too vague for me to understand. I can't square my experience of LLMs (generate braindead code for well-documented situations) with the kinds of tests I write (enforcing domain-specific business logic during execution of specific scenarios) about which LLMs know nothing (not the domain-specific logic, not the scenarios, not my test helpers and mock implementations.)


This is the open-source example I have: https://github.com/justjake/eslint-seatbelt/blob/main/src/Se...

Maybe you can declare this is braindead code for well-documented situations? not sure. My rough draft implementation of this class had bugs, I asked Cursor to write tests - prompt was something like "can you set up tests for SeatbeltFile.ts using node:test framework", it added "test" script to package.json and wrote 90% of the test file, then I fixed the bugs, added another case myself, committed the tests.


Interesting, thank you very much for sharing. I wouldn't have expected an LLM to write those tests. This makes me want to try again for some of the work I've been doing. Thank you!
