The document discusses GitHub Copilot, an AI programming assistant. It notes that Copilot can help reduce the pain of writing tests by providing predictive text and increasing a developer's velocity. Several use cases for Copilot are provided, including writing better comments, pair programming, writing tests, and live coding. Copilot Labs is also discussed as helping developers become comfortable in new codebases, understand StackOverflow solutions, and gain additional context on data structures. The document concludes with examples of using Copilot and a reminder that it is still in beta.

- 1. @BLACKGIRLBYTES /Make Testing Easy with GitHub Copilot INDEX.HTML By Rizel Scarlett
- 2. @BLACKGIRLBYTES INDEX.HTML <Pains of Testing> - I never really learned how to write good unit tests in bootcamp or college. I just follow patterns in my codebase. - It never feels like I have enough time whether I write them before or after. Reality is, estimated time to complete a ticket doesn’t often include much testing.
- 3. @BLACKGIRLBYTES INDEX.HTML <Reduces the Pain> GitHub Copilot - an AI pair programmer increases velocity and reduces time focused on syntax.

- 33. 1. It’s not magic. GitHub Copilot can’t read my mind, and it will not always spit out perfectly well- written, up-to-date code. 2. Copilot increases my confidence and velocity as a programmer. Now, I have to worry less about syntax. @BLACKGIRLBYTES INDEX.HTML
- 34. Thank you, Applitools! Any questions? @BLACKGIRLBYTES INDEX.HTML
