The author, a solo developer, built a trading system called TopSet using AI agents, which generated most of the code. To ensure the system's reliability, the author implemented a rigorous testing process, including end-to-end tests that simulate real-world scenarios, and a "gate" that prevents changes from merging if they fail any of the tests.
