I guess I should start researching the testing framework ecosystem. Frameworks that make it easy and low-friction to represent desired behavior and identify+test edge cases will be key to using copilot/AI-code-tools effectively.

So, what are best testing frameworks people have worked with?

To me "property based testing" would come to mind, where you would define properties of the input and output of a method and the library runs random test cases for you. The most prominent implementation would be QuickCheck[0], which is written in Haskell, but there are re-implementations of it in almost every language.
