Testing AI-Generated Code: Gates That Actually Hold (2026)
How to gate AI-assisted development — why line coverage stops meaning anything, the four checks that hold, and where human review should be spent when volume outruns it.

Testing strategy frameworks by architecture — microservices, SaaS, serverless, and AI-powered applications each need a different approach.
How to gate AI-assisted development — why line coverage stops meaning anything, the four checks that hold, and where human review should be spent when volume outruns it.
What an API testing framework actually is, the three real categories to choose between, and a practical decision framework based on team language, CI/CD needs, and who should be able to read the tests.
How to build an LLM eval suite that actually catches regressions — dataset design, scoring functions, LLM-as-judge calibration, thresholds, CI gating and the tooling landscape.
A practical method for testing LLM-backed features — deterministic shell versus probabilistic core, invariant tests, golden-set evals, regression on prompt changes, and what to run in CI.
The 9 distinct types of API testing explained — what each one catches, when to run it in your pipeline, and how they fit together into a complete test strategy.
A practical template for writing API test cases, with worked examples across positive, negative, boundary, and security scenarios — and how each one maps directly onto an automated test.
A complete API testing checklist across functional, security, and performance dimensions — every item explained, mapped to what actually breaks in production, with a downloadable version for CI/CD gating.
How testing changes between REST, GraphQL and gRPC — contract format, error semantics, security surface and tooling — with the same check written three ways.
How enterprise teams use risk-based test selection to keep CI/CD fast without losing coverage. Code-change impact analysis, AI-driven selection, and the audit story that holds up when you don't run every test on every change.
