  Testing is I think exactly one of the parts where LLMs can help a lot. I am not so sure in the rest of the codebase. I am of the idea that software in general is written once but read a lot. But, for tests it is a good thing to have really extensive coverage. More than maybe a human is willing to do.

  Am I correct in assuming the right way to pronounce this is "Nah-No-Fuzz"?

  Github was/is working on something like that as well. Give me some go/kotlin test generators please!

  I don't understand the obsession with the monetary aspect of testing... The tool is supposed to replace or aid unit testing, i.e. the tests that are written by developers themselves, not the work of QA... whatever savings this tool may produce don't affect the "testing" budget of a real enterprise (which is usually dedicated to the QA needs). On the other hand, I'm very happy to see that testing gets some love from research, and that at least they tried to design a study. Not a very convincing study (with 28 programmers participating), but I can imagine it to be very hard to get a lot of highly paid professionals to participate.

    Maybe tools like this can [someday] replace dedicated QA teams...
