Show HN: Crucible – your AI wrote the tests, so who tested the tests?

Category: devtools

Tags: mutation-testing, ai-testing, test-quality

Score: 7.8/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 9, Utility: 7)

Crucible is an open-source tool that closes the loop on AI-generated tests by using mutation testing to find surviving defects and adversarial AI agents to kill them, while being honest about failures and recording everything via receipts. It is interesting because it addresses the real problem of trusting AI-written tests with a principled, mechanical verification approach and strong documentation of limitations.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers, devops
