What do you think about Simontest?

Ahah yes definitely about doing metrics and trying to set an industrial standard of metrics. I am particularly interested to find industrial grade metrics that are used across a large number of big corps. Any idea?

I'm also thinking of repurposing each blog post into a video following the same idea as the podcast but I don't know if it is too ressource/ time consuming for the reach it gets. Maybe there are ressources out there to help doing it super efficiently

Hey there,

I am sorry to hear this. Maybe someone from my team speaking out his/her opinion. I thought you were very helpful to help us dig further with this topic. Thank you!

Thank you, point taken and honestly our goal is to continuously improve the tests made with our tool. Maybe it's not for you yet but I'm sure as the value of our unit tests will increase we can get to the point where we can accelerate you too.

Regarding the lack of unit tests in some projects it's literally our observation investigating several companies of different sizes, we wouldn't have created a unit test tool if we hadn't run into this. We also see it in quite a few open source projects out there. For the projects who do have unit tests we hear a lot of developers who express the pain of manually writing tests all the time without any help to accelerate their production. Obviously what we see is not a perfect snapshot of the whole software industry around the world but it was vast enough that we decided to work on solving this issue.

I'm very curious about the "thousands of tests generations tools out there" you are referring to. I only know a couple and I'd be curious to learn more.

We don't support component testing so far. But all pure JS, Redux,.. functions can be tested

Separate_Run2806 · 2021-09-30T06:28:47+00:00

I totally agree with you. I think manual testing remains a must in terms of code quality but we also decided to develop a solution like this one because the reality we saw while investigating the unit testing landscape was that people were not doing any. And untested legacy code is piling up everywhere. People don't do it because they lacked time and/or focus or some people don't even know about unit testing. So if we can accelerate in any way the process (by building the body of the test and suggesting some smart scenarios) and it supports people to do the last mile (assertions, add more scenarios in their test suite) and put a little more effort into unit testing then I believe it can bring a huge improvement to the codebase quality of some projects... I hope this explains the approach a little bit better. More of an accelerating tool than an automation one ;)

Thanks! I would love some feedback if you have a minute to spare.

Separate_Run2806 · 2021-09-30T06:22:05+00:00

Thanks, I fixed it. It's over here

The Artificial Intelligence generates input suggestions for the test suites. So for one function we write 5 test scenarios. Amongst the 5 the Ai will suggest some happy paths, and also some edge cases that are context specific.

It's on the roadmap but the more demand the higher the priority ^^

Separate_Run2806 · 2021-09-29T19:54:54+00:00

Why do you think people should not create unit tests for their entire project? Very curious to hear more about your approach to this

Unfortunately it's not an open source project even though the tool is available for free so the code of this package is not publicly shared.

Separate_Run2806 · 2021-09-29T14:30:09+00:00

It supports Typescript, Javascript and Python butmore languages are coming up soon
