AI code-generation delivers on speed, but teams working in medical, financial, transportation, and other high-risk domains face a dilemma: when the AI writes both code and tests, how do you know it hasn’t hallucinated away a critical edge case? “Vibe coding” through iterative prompts leaves the entire team uncertain whether all critical scenarios have been covered.

Rob Myers covers the missing puzzle-piece that must always be done–at some level–by humans. Rob calls this “Test-Driven Thinking,” requiring someone to describe to the agent–in detail–what the software user expects to happen, expressed in concrete examples. Learn about specific techniques for keeping humans in the driver’s seat on test scenario creation while still gaining AI’s code generation speed. Discover how to structure your workflow so creative human insight defines “what ifs” while AI handles implementation.

You’ll leave with practical approaches for integrating comprehensive Test-Driven Thinking into your AI-augmented pipeline—giving you both the speed you need and the confidence that no critical cases get missed.

Takeaways:

  1. Why the same AI agent shouldn’t build both- user stories (requests) and implementation.
  2. Some approaches for integrating Test-Driven Thinking into your AI-augmented workflow.
  3. How agentic development might alter team roles… possibly making us humans more “Agile” rather than becoming obsolete wetware.
