@JeffGrigg@mastodon.social @natpryce@mastodon.social @emilybache@sw-development-is.social Disclaimer: I have not read the paper yet, only read the "Our results highlight that a vast majority of developer-written tests exhibit characteristics that are beyond the capabilities of current ATG tools." quote so far.
I'm not surprised: the LLM-generated tests I've seen so far are usually good at generating code coverage, but bad at documenting what code does / should do.
