[FEATURE] LLM-powered Test Generation — Automatic test case creation from requirements #476

Description

@gelluisaac

Description

Use LLMs to automatically generate test cases, test data, and test assertions
from code, documentation, and requirements.

Scope

Build AI-powered testing assistant that creates comprehensive test suites.

Files to Touch/Create

  • astroml/llm/testing/__init__.py
  • astroml/llm/testing/generator.py — Test generation orchestrator
  • astroml/llm/testing/strategies/ — Generation strategies
  • astroml/llm/testing/assertions/ — Assertion generators
  • astroml/llm/testing/fixtures/ — Test data generation
  • astroml/llm/testing/reviewer.py — Test quality reviewer
  • tools/test_generator/ — CLI tool for test generation

Test Generation Capabilities

  1. Unit Tests: Generate from function signatures and docstrings
  2. Integration Tests: Generate from API specs
  3. Property-based Tests: Generate from type specifications
  4. Edge Case Discovery: Identify boundary conditions
  5. Regression Tests: Generate from bug reports
  6. Performance Tests: Generate load test scenarios

Implementation Details

  • Analyze code structure and documentation
  • Generate pytest-compatible test functions
  • Create realistic test fixtures and mocks
  • Include edge cases and error conditions
  • Generate test documentation
  • Suggest test coverage improvements

Acceptance Criteria

  • Generated tests pass 80% of the time initially
  • Human review reduces fixing time by 50%
  • Test coverage suggestions are actionable
  • Generated edge cases find real bugs
  • Supports pytest, unittest, and FastAPI TestClient
  • Test quality improves with feedback

Example Output

def test_fraud_score_with_high_risk_account():
    account = create_test_account(risk_score=0.9)
    result = await fraud_service.score(account.id)
    assert result.score > 0.8
    assert result.alert_created is True
