Unit testing in Visual Studio has evolved well beyond writing tests one at a time, and if you’re not taking advantage of the latest tooling, you’re leaving productivity on the table.

In this session, we’ll walk through modern unit testing workflows directly inside Visual Studio, showing how AI assisted tools can help you quickly generate tests, explore edge cases, and expand coverage with confidence. You’ll see live examples of using test agents, lightweight skills, and agentic flows to bootstrap tests for real .NET code, reason about existing test suites, and validate behavior at scale.

This session emphasizes practical, real world scenarios developers face every day - working with unfamiliar code, improving coverage without slowing down, and making smarter decisions about what to test. If you’re already writing unit tests in Visual Studio and want to understand how AI can help you work faster and more effectively, this talk will show you exactly how.

You will learn:

• Understand how AI-assisted tooling fits into modern unit testing workflows, including where it excels and where human judgement still matters.
• Use test agents and lightweight agentic flows to quickly bootstrap and expand unit test coverage, especially for large or unfamiliar codebases.
• Apply practical strategies for combining unit testing practices with AI-powered tools to improve productivity, confidence, and test quality.
