New Livestream: TDD and Generative AI – A Perfect Pairing?
Join us for a new IntelliJ IDEA Livestream episode with Bouke Nijhuis, where we’ll explore how test-driven development (TDD) and AI can work together to generate production-ready code.
Date: February 27, 2025
Time: 3:00–4:00 pm UTC

Session abstract
In this talk, we will explore whether generative AI can generate working code when we provide only test cases. We’ll take the main principle from TDD – writing the tests upfront – and then use generative AI to create the code. If you wrote the tests correctly and they all pass, you should have a working prototype. Even better, if the tests pass and you trust the tests, the code is production-ready!
With some live coding, we will explore this idea together and take a look at the implications of this paradigm shift. After attending, you should be able to apply this technique to your own project.
Asking questions
Bouke will try to answer all of your questions during the session. If we run out of time, we’ll publish answers to any remaining questions in a follow-up blog post.
