The approach combines TDD principles with agentic AI: a crew of specialized agents (orchestrator, coder, tester, reviewer, release agent) builds features from a PRD. The key insight is separating the agent that writes tests from the one that writes implementation code, anchoring tests to the PRD so goalposts can't be moved. Critical tests are blackbox/behavior-level, and each one records a terminal or browser session. These recordings are assembled into a short demo reel that the developer watches to approve a merge — replacing manual code review with a few seconds of video. The author also argues for inverting the traditional testing pyramid when using AI agents, favoring behavior tests over unit tests since agents can debug coarse failures at zero cost. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
