AI agents, code generators, automation tools — they all produce code faster than any human can. But faster does not mean correct.</p> <p>When a robot writes code for you, how do you know it works? How do you know it handles edge cases? How do you know it doesn&rsquo;t break something that was working before?</p> <p>This is where TDD becomes important again.</p> <h2 id="the-redgreen-cycle-as-a-verification-tool">The Red/Green Cycle as a Verification Tool</h2> <p>The classic TDD cycle is simple: write a failing test (red), make it pass (green), then refactor. This cycle was always useful, but now it has a new purpose — <strong>it gives humans a way to verify what robots produce</strong>.</p>
