    With ChatGPT taking flight with providing an accessible means of interacting with AI models, the debate on the usefulness of AI generated content is all the craze. AI and generated content isn't new, but the ChatGPT marketing campaign and accessibility have opened possibilities to the masses.

    Having identified a number of different types of tests, you can already imagine that each tests has its own place in the process.

We'll outline a lineair process, but of course in practice there's more iteration between steps. That's fine and is in fact where tests offer the confidence of moving back and forth!

    Software development is complex. It involves people talking about an idea or concept and then translating it to code. The code then is compiled, packages or run and we expect a certain result. In all of these (generic) steps, there's room for complexity, interpretation and errors to sneak into the software.

    Luckily, testing software has matured and expanded to a level where we can confidently release code that doesn't break on build, only changes where change is needed and the features can even be asserted before writing a single line of code!
