It's hard to generate tests for typical C# code. Or for any context where you have external dependencies.

If you have injected services in your current service, the LLM doesn't know anything about those so it makes poor guesses. You have to bring those in context, so they can be mocked properly.

You end up spending a lot of time guiding the LLM, so it's not measurably faster than writing test by hand.

I want my prompt to be: "write unit tests for XYZ method" without having to accurately describe it the prompt what the method does, how it does it and why it does it. Writing too many details in the prompt takes the same time as writing the code myself.

Github Copilot should be better since it's supposed to have access to you entire code base. But somehow it doesn't look at dependencies and it just uses the knowledge of the codebase for stylistic purposes.

It's probably my fault, there are for sure better ways to use LLMs for code, but I am probably not the only one who struggles.
