'Test-driven Generation: A Hands-on Experience' at EuroSTAR 2025

I'm delighted and astonished to be doing a big interactive at EuroSTAR in Edinburgh this summer.

In my session, you’ll write tests that fail, and your AI will hand back code which passes those tests. You’ll go round this magic loop several times; building more tests and generating more code. We'll explore, we'll play, and we'll use the experience as a springboard to think about confirmatory tests and about AI's role in a tester's toolkit.

I get to do the first "Deep Dive" slot, on the Wednesday morning. My workshop that means I need to deliver >100 simultaneous, competent, AI-enabled – yet resilient and simple – development environments to 100+ people.

Join James Lyndsay in this hands-on session to write failing tests and generate passing code through an iterative AI-driven process

I can do that. Preparation's going to be a giggle though...
