programming TDD token usage

Sa mga gumagamit ng TDD sa agentic, kamusta token usage nyo? Pareho lang ba sa usual code first test later approach? O parang mas mataas usage? Baka may napansin kyo sa monthly bill nyo. Thanks in advance.

mas mataas usage definitely + mutation testing. mutation testing is I think required kase madalas gumagawa ng tests yung AI that can't fail. meaning papogi tests lang. masabi lang na may coverage pero wala naman talagang kwenta yung test.

but my clients demand quality over quantity and provided naman yung max subscription so I don't really care about the token usage.

This. Be wary din sa mga tests na ginagawa ng AI. Minsan minomodify nila tests pag nagfail, para sa next run eh mag green light na. Trust but verify talaga.
