Test Generation & Coverage Assistants

Generates unit, integration and property-based tests from code or specification.

Description

Produces tests for existing or new code, including property-based tests asserting invariants rather than examples. Among the strongest applications, because a wrong test usually fails loudly rather than silently.

When it fits

Raising coverage on untested code, generating edge cases humans overlook, and articulating invariants as properties.

When it does not fit

Generating tests from the code alone, which encodes current behaviour as correct — including its bugs.

Governance requirement

Tests for control-bearing logic must be derived from the specification or policy, not from the implementation, or they verify only that the code does what it does.

Characteristic failure

Tests that mirror the implementation, passing forever and detecting nothing, while coverage figures improve.

Example

Generating property-based tests asserting that reconciling items sum exactly to the balance difference — an invariant, not an example, and derived from the domain rule rather than the code.

Deliberately empty

Two different absences share this shape. Foundational solutions get built whatever the domain, so no domain links them; the rest are solutions this domain genuinely does not reach for. v_ai_solutions_unlinked separates the two.
