Welcome to the course and a quick preview of the tools, techniques, and challenges you'll work through.
Students will learn why AI testing matters now more than ever before.
How to navigate sections by your language and tool preference, and how the Challenge exercises work.
Students will learn about AI-driven testing pitfalls that they should avoid.
Students will learn about the industry best practices for AI-driven testing.
Why test-driven development hasn't been replaced by AI — and why the discipline it demands has become more important, not less.
Why AI coding assistants share the same core test generation pattern regardless of brand, and what that means for you as a learner.
Students will install nvm and Node.js as prerequisites for this section.
A hands-on demo using Claude Code to generate a unit test suite using the three-step technique — context priming, initial generation, and chat refinement.
Learn how to make test workflows reusable in Claude Code, with slash commands, agent skills, and CLAUDE.md
A hands-on demo using Cursor to generate a unit test suite using the three-step technique — context priming, inline generation, and chat refinement.
Learn how to make test workflows reusable in Cursor, with slash commands, agent skills, and AGENTS.md
A hands-on demo using Copilot to generate a unit test suite using the three-step technique — context priming, initial generation, and chat refinement.
Learn how to make test workflows reusable in Copilot, with prompt files, instruction files, and AGENTS.md
An overview of how Diffblue autonomously generates guaranteed-to-compile, guaranteed-to-run JUnit tests without developer prompting.
Students will sign up for Diffblue Cover and install all of the required tools and plugins.
A full demo: pointing Diffblue at a service class and watching it generate a complete JUnit 5 suite with no manual intervention.
Students will learn how integrating Diffblue Cover into a CI pipeline provides the fastest and most comprehensive way to protect your codebase from regressions.
Students will install Python3 and pip as prerequisites for the AI-Driven TDD in Practice section.
Students will learn how to practically apply AI-Driven TDD using Claude Code.
Students will learn how to practically apply AI-Driven TDD using Cursor.
Students will learn how to practically apply AI-Driven TDD using GitHub Copilot.
A summary of the five principles that outlast any individual tool, and recommended next steps for applying what you've learned.
Most developers now use AI to write tests. Far fewer know how to tell a good AI-generated test from a dangerous one.
That gap is what this course closes. You'll go beyond "prompt it and hope" and build the judgment to generate test suites that genuinely protect your code — across the three most widely used languages in the industry today: JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, and Python.
You'll work hands-on with four of the most important tools in AI testing:
Diffblue Cover — autonomous JUnit generation for Java, no prompting required
Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot — agentic assistants that generate tests in your editor, and reusable workflows that make those results repeatable across your team
But tools are only half of it. The heart of this course is critical review. You'll see how AI can quietly turn an existing bug into a passing test, how a suite with 100% line coverage can assert nothing meaningful, and why deleting a failing test is almost always the wrong move. You'll learn to apply AI-driven TDD — where the AI writes failing tests from a spec, then writes the code to pass them, making it structurally impossible to encode a bug.
Each language section is designed so that at least one maps directly to your stack — and if it doesn't, you'll learn how to port the patterns to any language you prefer. You'll also practice the human side in a role-play scenario: advising your manager on adopting AI test generation responsibly.
By the end, you'll have a complete, review-first workflow for AI-generated testing that you can bring to your team on day one — shipping faster and with more confidence.
