Interesting there's so little for testing, especially given there's so much fir generating code that's even more requiring of testing than normal.

I’ve found that copilot is actually pretty good at generating tests, although I’m sure that depends on how the code under test is written. I can usually just write the test description (sometimes a whole describe block) and it fills out the test(s) for me. I usually have to make some adjustments but it sure beats typing it all out by hand.

Testing is coding, the purpose of the module is just different.

Does anybody know of a tool that can produce HTML & CSS from a hand-drawn mock-up as input? I would totally use that.

Like this? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/ai-lab-sketch2code

What am I doing wrong ...can't load the featured website: _______

This site can’t be reached

sketch2code.azurewebsites.net’s server IP address could not be found. Try:

Checking the connection ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

It's not you, I'm guessing they removed the 'Try it out' app from Azure, it also won't load for me. Sounds like Microsoft.

Sorry about that! I should have checked before sharing that link.

It looks like Microsoft published the code on GitHub, so you might be able to deploy it via Azure. (I haven't tried it.)

Bing can do this. Although I tested it only for very simple hand drawn mockups. "As an AI assistant", it may refuse to do so from time to time
