## How We Differ

* Tusk **self-runs the tests** it generates and **auto-iterates** on its output so you can be confident that its tests are checking for relevant edge cases. Other test generation and code review tools do not reliably execute tests without a human in the loop.

* Tusk is a PR check, which allows us to **use more compute to reason** if a test should be added or filtered out. AI co-pilots in your IDE are optimized for latency and snippet acceptance, and so tend to generate only passing tests.

* Tusk ingests your **testing guidelines** and documentation so that it can generate tests that are inline with your team's testing best practices.

We ran Tusk, Cursor, and Claude Code on a benchmark PR containing a boundary condition bug and found that Tusk was the only agent that caught the edge case (in 90% of its runs). Tusk also consistently followed existing mocking patterns, while Cursor and Claude Code incorrectly mocked the required services approximately half of the time.
