Use Copilot for fast, context-aware unit-test scaffolding in-editor (low friction, but can miss edge cases). Use ChatGPT via prompts/API for bulk scenario and integration tests (better at enumerating cases, higher hallucination/review risk). For CI: generate tests as draft PRs, run linters, coverage and mutation testing, and require a human review gate before merging.
