I think the distinction is that if you write a test that reproduces the bug, that's a binary signal and doesn't by itself tell you anything about why the bug is happening. In contrast, if you write tests that rule out particular causes of a bug you're incrementally narrowing down the potential causes of the bug. So each test gives you information that helps you solve the bug, without directly stepping through the code. Unfortunately, I don't think the post is a great primer on the subject. |

It isn't, nor is it intended to be. It's an advert:
>> While mastering unit tests as debugging tools takes practice, AI-powered solutions like Qodo can significantly accelerate this journey. Qodo’s contextual understanding of your Java codebase helps it automatically generate tests that target potential logic vulnerabilities.
