OReilly author Andrew Stellman recommends several exercises for learning to use AI effectively. A good next step is asking an AI assistant to generate unit tests, either for existing code or some new code (which leads to test-driven development). We already know how to build some evaluation suites that test AIs reliability.

Many organizations already employ DevOps, an approach to developing software that combines development and operations in a continuous cycle to build, test, release, and refine software in an efficient feedback loop. Traditionally, application security testing sits as a discrete stage between development and operations.
