How well do agents use test/verification techniques?
Read OriginalThis article evaluates whether simple instructions to coding agents to use specific testing techniques or libraries improve implementation correctness. It compares 26 prompt conditions including TDD, property-based testing, fuzzing, formal methods (Lean 4, TLA+), and various tools like QuickCheck and Proptest, using a Zstd implementation eval in Rust. The author pre-registered predictions and discusses results from other evals like IMAP RFC.
