Developers Delete Unit Tests as AI Writes Code
Original: Developers Delete Unit Tests as AI Handles Coding

Supporters say AI can regenerate and verify code on demand, while critics warn that deleting tests removes safety nets, makes regressions harder to catch, and signals a worrying shift in engineering practice.
Why now: Debate is spreading over whether AI coding tools have made traditional testing practices obsolete or risky to abandon.
