As if when you delegate tasks to humans they are deterministic. I would hope that your test cases cover the requirements. If not, your implementation is just as brittle when other developers come online or even when you come back to a project after six months.
1. Agents aren’t humans. A human can write a working 100k LOC application with zero tests (not saying they should but they could and have). An agent cannot do this.
Agents require tests to keep them from spinning out and your tests do not cover all of the behaviors you care about.
2. If you doubt that your tests don’t cover all your requirements, 99.9% of every production bug you’ve ever had completely passed your test suite.
