From Copilot to Co-Tester: Guardrails for AI-Written Tests | Dimpy Adhikary | Testflix 2025 |
Generative AI can produce tests instantly, but speed alone does not guarantee quality or safety. Without proper validation, AI-written tests can become brittle, redundant, or misleading, creating a false sense of coverage. This session looks at the risks of relying on AI-generated tests without the right controls in place.
The talk introduces a structured guardrails framework for validating AI-written tests before they reach production. It covers semantic checks using AI against acceptance criteria, along with deterministic checks such as code coverage, mutation scores, flakiness detection, performance smoke tests, and security scans. The session also demonstrates how to automate these guardrails in CI/CD and convert test results into a measurable Test Quality Score for reliable, end-to-end coverage.
