## TL;DR
AI for software testing helps generate tests, guide fuzzing, triage failures, and maintain quality checks. The useful framing is assistance and coverage expansion, not a guarantee that generated tests prove software correctness.

## Core Explanation
LLMs can propose unit tests, edge cases, mocks, and assertions from source code or specifications. Symbolic execution can explore program paths systematically. Fuzzing generates many inputs to find crashes or security-relevant behavior. These approaches are strongest when they feed into a normal test, review, and CI process.

## Detailed Analysis
The hard part is the oracle problem: a generated test input is only useful when the expected behavior is known or checkable. Practical workflows combine generated tests with invariants, differential testing, fuzzing, human review, and coverage feedback.
