The code passed every test, but after three days, a logic error caused the refund process to run twice. The problem was not that the AI-generated code failed basic testing. But the team missed edge cases that could happen in real-world use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This situation is becoming extremely common in modern development. It is important to know that passing tests doesn\u2019t always mean the code is production-ready. This is when an AI-generated code audit is no longer an option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a huge difference between catching a failure in code review and explaining it to frustrated, angry users later.

This creates blind spots that a standard review process was never built to catch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Code written by humans fails in ways developers usually predict. Whereas AI-written code fails inside but looks fine on the surface. A function can work normally but still fail in an unusual situation. Traditional testing may not catch these problems.
