Building CodeGuard AI: One test passed for the wrong reason.
I’m testing my AI-powered GitHub PR reviewer, and I found a problem worth sharing.
I gave it a failing test:
assertEquals(2, 1, "Discount calculation is incorrect");
The test failed, as expected.
CodeGuard detected the failure correctly. But its AI suggested changing the assertion to:
assertEquals(1, 1, "Discount calculation is incorrect");
Now it passes. But the underlying issue hasn’t been fixed — the test has simply been weakened.
That’s one of the challenges of building AI code-review tools: a fix that passes a test isn't necessarily a fix that solves the problem.
I’ve logged this issue and am continuing to test the other features before fixing related problems together.
I'm building CodeGuard AI for developers who want more reliable AI-assisted code reviews.
What checks would you expect before an AI reviewer recommends a code fix?
