AI programming CLI offers 5 rules for effective test case generation

This article outlines five rules for using the `/test` command, a feature within a larger AI programming CLI workflow. The primary guideline is to first create a comprehensive list of test cases, categorized by normal paths, edge cases, and error conditions, before writing any code. It emphasizes that tests should be executed to find bugs, not just to improve coverage metrics, and that any un-covered branches must be clearly stated in the final report. The article also specifies when not to use the `/test` command, such as when the code itself is not yet functional or when the goal is solely to inflate coverage numbers. AI

IMPACT Provides specific usage guidelines for an AI-powered testing command, aiming to improve software development workflows.
