Subject: Writing Tests Using GitHub Copilot

Abstract:
I want to show you the secret weapon I have been using for the past year. The GitHub Copilot lets me write full tests quickly, fills the gaps in my knowledge of 3rd party tools, and even writes clear descriptive commit messages. But it is not a "press the button to do it all". You need to guide the AI to do the right thing, which takes experience, but most importantly, you need to decide what you want the AI to do, step by step. Remember: AI is not going to replace you any time soon. But someone more productive with AI's help might get ahead. Let's learn Copilot for real-world test writing. It might change how you work. If you master it, Copilot becomes your super weapon. It is like playing Super Mario - in some games, you can dash by pressing the "Y" button, but you need to point in the right direction first.
