How we use LLMs to find testing gaps, vulnerabilities in codebases

Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to announce the latest feature from Mutahunter.ai, the ultimate tool for finding and fixing weaknesses in your code. We’ve designed Mutahunter to leverage mutation testing powered by advanced LLMs, helping you uncover vulnerabilities and enhance your code quality effortlessly. Introducing our newest feature: Detailed Mutation Testing Reports! After running our mutation tests, Mutahunter now generates comprehensive reports that clearly summarize: • Vulnerable code gaps • Test case gaps These reports significantly reduce the cognitive load on developers by…

  • Why write code if the LLM can just do the thing? (web app experiment)Nov 2025 · github.com · ▲436

    I spent a few hours last weekend testing whether AI can replace code by executing directly. Built a contact manager where every HTTP request goes to an LLM with three tools: database (SQLite), webResponse (HTML/JSON/JS), and updateMemory (feedback). No routes, no controllers, no business logic. The AI designs schemas on first request, generates UIs from paths alone, and evolves based on natural language feedback. It works—forms submit, data persists, APIs return JSON—but it's catastrophically slow (30-60s per request), absurdly expensive ($0.05/request), and has zero UI…

    Extreme Mutation Testing to Optimize LLM Agent-Based Mutation Testing2024 · ▲5

    Hey HN, Steven here from CodeIntegrity https://github.com/codeintegrity-ai/mutahunter We’re obsessed with automating software testing, specifically mutation testing, and have been frustrated with its slow adoption despite its proven success. I have a pretty different perspective on mutation testing and have shared my thoughts on its current state - https://www.jungsteven.com/blog/2024-07-03-past-present-future-mutation-testing Over the past few months, we’ve developed a new mutation testing tool that’s easy to use and compatible with any programming…

    Hey all, Justin here. I previously built Phind, the AI search engine for developers. One of the biggest problems we had there was figuring out what went wrong with bad searches. We had tons of searches per day, but less than 1% of users gave any explicit feedback. So we were either manually digging through searches or making general system improvements and hoping they helped. This problem gets harder with agents. Traces are longer and more complex. It takes more effort to review them, so I'm building a tool that lets you analyze LLM outputs directly to help developers of LLM apps and agents…

  • Open-source model and scorecard for measuring hallucinations in LLMs2023 · vectara.com · ▲65

    Hi all! This morning, we released a new Apache 2.0 licensed model on HuggingFace for detecting hallucinations in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems. What we've found is that even when given a "simple" instruction like "summarize the following news article," every LLM that's available hallucinates to some extent, making up details that never existed in the source article -- and some of them quite a bit. As a RAG provider and proponents of ethical AI, we want to see LLMs get better at this. We've published an open source model, a blog more thoroughly describing our methodology (and…

  • Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
