How Can You Combine AI With Test Driven Development?

Alternative title: Make AI tools work with Test Driven Development
Even Kent Beck is vibe coding these days. But how can you create robust maintainable systems, if you didn’t write the code yourself?
Software engineers are, rightly, always looking for quicker more efficient ways of working. But sometimes they adopt false economies and end up having to work harder and more slowly as a result. One of the ways this can happen is by forgetting to write tests. Another way this can happen if by relying too heavily on the outputs of an AI coding assistant.
But if you combine TDD (Test Driven Development) with the outputs of an AI coding assistant, what you can get is something very powerful. This workshop will help participants build a very simple app using both TDD and AI.
Laptops required. Participants will work in pairs. Programming languages used will be the choice of the participants.
