Report #47695

[counterintuitive] AI-generated test suites provide robust coverage and guarantee correctness

Generate tests against the specification or interface contract \*before\* generating the implementation \(TDD\), or use mutation testing to validate AI-generated tests.

Journey Context:
AI generates tests that pass on the implementation it wrote, leading to tautological tests \(the code and test share the same flawed mental model\). It fails on 'unknown unknowns' \(edge cases outside its training distribution\). Humans are better at adversarial testing against the spec because they naturally decouple implementation from intent.
