HOW TO USE TEST-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT WITH AI AGENTS (WITHOUT LOWERING CODE QUALITY)

Summary from the TLDR IT newsletter

A new empirical workflow called EXACT combines Test-Driven Development with agentic AI tools while maintaining code quality. The approach utilizes example mapping for collaborative human modeling, natural language test lists, and predictive TDD. Experiments show that this method significantly improves correctness and code quality compared to unguided vibe coding or plain TDD prompts.
