The Importance of Validation and Human Oversight
Reinforcing the critical role of human review, automated checks, and testing in the LLM-assisted workflow. Explains why generated code cannot be blindly trusted and the potential consequences of skipping validation steps.
Key Points:
- Why LLM output is a starting point, not a finished product.
- The risks of unchecked generated code: bugs, security vulnerabilities, performance issues, technical debt, non-compliance with standards.
- The human role in verifying alignment with the specification, overall system design, performance requirements, and security policies.
- The necessity of comprehensive testing (unit, integration, end-to-end) regardless of how the code was generated.
- Ethical considerations related to using LLMs for code (bias in training data, security implications).
