That is how you end up with a test suite that now takes 10x as long, unless you occasionally prompt the agent to consolidate and group tests.

There are still a lot of issues with coding that require intervention. Just recently, I had Astra detect a minor bug in an HTTP client that resulted in it deciding that the best approach would be to spend 1800 LOC on implementing its own from scratch. Some other time, Opus 5.5 was trying to tell me that test runs on a small to mid-sized application would take another three weeks until they would be fully finished.

The only time I really get tests which take crazy time is when I'm doing mobile dev, because emulator testing on my system is slow.
