AI-Generated Tests Can Make Coding Agents Worse. Here's How to Check Yours

A bug fix that passes all existing tests can still introduce regressions by conflating distinct requirements, as demonstrated by a Python order-filter example where treating None and empty-list identically causes incorrect behavior. The article illustrates how incomplete test coverage fails to catch such regressions and warns that weak tests fed to automated repair agents can misdirect subsequent fixes toward incorrect implementations.
