A hands-on dev review focused on i18n, date/number formatting, and non-ASCII edge cases. Why I Tested TestSprite for Locale Handling Specifically Most AI testing tools get reviewed for their core functionality — does it find bugs, does it write good test code, does it integrate with CI/CD. Those reviews exist. What I couldn't find was a focused review on how TestSprite handles locale-specific edge

Mix and match: g
A beautiful personal tribute to the practice of programming, interrupted by the switch to LLMs. Comments
