Even better though - external test suits. Recently made a S3 server of which the LLM made quick work for MVP. Then I found a Ceph S3 test suite that I could run against it and oh boy. Ended up working really good as TDD though.
yeah i have been hearing a lot more about this concept of “digital twins” - where you have high fidelity versions of external services to run tests against. You can ask the API docs of these external services and give it to Claude. Wonder if that is where we will be going more towards.
