## AI overview

Meta describes its Automated Compliance Hardening (ACH) tool, which uses large language models to generate relevant code mutants and tests designed to catch them. The article explains how this supports mutation testing and helps identify compliance-related bugs.

## Source excerpt

Following our keynote presentations at FSE 2025 and Eurostar 2025, we're delving further into the development of Meta's Automated Compliance Hardening (ACH) tool, an LLM-based tool for software testing that is automating aspects of compliance adherence at Meta, while accelerating developer and product velocity. By leveraging LLMs we've been able to overcome the barriers that [...] Read More... The post LLMs Are the Key to Mutation Testing and Better Compliance appeared first on Engineering at Meta.
