Big fan of AI-assisted TDD here; I included mention of it in a recent post:
An Idiot’s Guide To Bigger Projects
and went into more detail about it in one of the replies.
I really like your suggestions about making it better integrated into the workflow, making the iterations more automated. Instead of feeling like you’re repeating half a dozen steps and context-switching between them (and manually pasting back test results for the model to read), it would be great to feel like you’re repeating the same one overarching step and having the automation take care of the mechanics. It would be a much better way to stay in ‘flow’.
+1 from me.
