LLMs are surprisingly good at writing test cases—something many developers either skip or struggle with. If you structure your workflow around TDD (Test-Driven Development), the LLM can generate and continuously rerun those tests as it iterates on the code. This creates a powerful closed-loop system where the spec (your unit tests) and the implementation evolve together.

Multimodal LLMs take it even further. I've given Claude 4 a screenshot and simply said, “There’s too much white space.” It correctly identified the issue and generated CSS fixes. That kind of feedback loop could easily become a regression test for visual/UI consistency.

This isn’t just about automating code generation—it’s about augmenting the entire development cycle, from specs to testing to visual QA.
