We're going to need to become a lot more creative about what and how we test if we're ever to reach dark factory levels. Unit tests and integration tests are one thing, but truly testing against everything in a typical project requirements document is another thing.
The team I saw doing this had a fake Slack channel full of fake users, each of which was constantly hammering away trying out different things against a staging environment version of the system.
That was just one of the tricks they were using, and this was a couple of months ago so they've no-doubt come up with a bunch more testing methods since then.
I dread to imagine tbe state lf the code, there are some antipatterns that LLMs come back to again and again.
