## Description

How many bugs in your last release were hiding in the tests you never wrote? Your specifications already describe the failures you’re missing — you’re just not turning them into tests. This session demonstrates how AI reads your requirements and generates the test cases your team overlooked. Real specs transformed into comprehensive test suites, how to evaluate whether AI-generated tests actually catch real defects, and where your judgment still beats the machine. A repeatable process that plugs directly into your existing workflow.
