  • LLM — A large language model — the neural network behind tools like Claude and ChatGPT, trained on huge amounts of text to predict what comes next.
  • AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
Why it matters

It gives teams building agents a concrete map of what their test suites are probably missing, backed by mined evidence rather than opinion about testing best practice.
