Claims that generative AI produces code from tests and that passing, trusted tests can yield production-ready prototypes. Live coding builds a pet-adoption REST service: Quarkus + Hibernate with Panache, Postgres devservices (container launched automatically), OpenAPI, JIB, and Kafka messaging with an in-memory connector. Tests use Quarkus continuous testing, transactional rollback, RestAssured, Mockito, AssertJ and Awaitility; repository methods, locking and a Kafka listener are implemented until tests go green within the ~40–45 minute demo.
