Black-Box Testing with AI Agents: Test the Rules, Not the Code

calendar_today ago • schedule1 min read

An AI agent that reads your code writes tests that confirm your bugs. In this video I show how to use AI agents for black-box testing instead: generate test cases from the business rules alone, run them against the real system, and get a findings report that lists every rule the application breaks. It covers why code access weakens AI-generated tests, the four-step pipeline with the prompts and the workspace layout, and when this approach is the wrong tool.
