An LLM cut 60,000 useless lines from his test suite and fixed bugs it found, in about 2 hours

LLM audited about 100k lines of tests, deleted about 60k useless lines, wrote broader scenario tests, and caught and fixed bugs, in about 2 hours.

How it works

  1. The LLM audits about 100,000 lines of tests
  2. Deletes about 60,000 useless lines
  3. Writes broader scenario tests
  4. Catches and fixes bugs along the way, in about 2 hours

Why it’s worth knowing

Deleting tests feels wrong until an agent shows which ones test nothing.
