The premise
AI test generation accelerates coverage; without discipline it creates false coverage that doesn't catch real bugs.
What AI does well here
- Use AI to generate test cases including edge cases humans might miss
- Validate test quality with mutation testing (do tests actually fail when code is wrong?)
- Maintain human review for critical-path test logic
- Track real bug catch rate, not just coverage percentage
What AI cannot do
- Trust AI-generated tests without quality validation
- Substitute AI tests for thinking about what to test
- Generate tests for behavior not yet defined
