its fun having LLMs because it makes it quite clear that a lot of testing has been cargo-culting. did people ever check often that the tests check for anything meaningful?

15years ago, I had tester writing "UI tests" / "User tests" that matched what the software was cranking out. At that time I just joined to continue at the client side so I didn't really worked on anything yet.

I had a fun discussion when the client tried to change values... Why is it still 0? Didn't you test?

And that was at that time I had to dive into the code base and cry.

Property testing could've helped

Test automation is kind of like a religion. It is comforting to believe that the solution to code is more code.
