TDD & generative AI - a perfect pairing?

This talk explores using generative AI to produce working code solely from test cases, following Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles. Through live coding, it examines the effectiveness and implications of this approach, enabling attendees to apply the technique to their projects, potentially creating production-ready code if tests pass.

In this talk we will dive into the question whether generative AI can generate working code when we only provide test cases. So we take the main principle from TDD: we write the tests up front. Then we use a generative AI to create the code. If you wrote the tests correctly and they all pass, you should have a working prototype. Even better, if the tests pass and you trust the tests, the code is production ready!With some live coding, we will explore this idea together. Furthermore we will take a look at the implications of this paradigm shift. After attending you should be able to apply this technique to your own project.
