Generate tests for Code Behavior.
What is Code Behavior?
Code behavior refers to how a specific code operates and responds to different inputs and conditions.
It describes how the code executes instructions and produces output based on its design and logic.
To demonstrate this feature, an example will be used.
Example: The test cases will be generated for four Python functions which take two inputs and add, subtract, multiply, and divide them and return the value.
Getting Started
Through this section, you can gain information about the behavior of your code.
It mainly provides the below information.
Total Behaviors: This refers to the number of ways your code can behave with various inputs and conditions.
Current Coverage: This gives you information about how many code behaviors were covered through the generated test cases.
qodo identifies 15 code behaviors in the given example, and the generated tests have covered only 8 of them.
Other than these insights, you can click the drop-down icon to have information about all the possible behaviors of your code.
For the given example, the identified code behaviors have been listed under 2 test types and the rest under "Other."
Each is categorized under test types such as Edge Case, Happy Path, etc. Also, based on the generated tests, each behavior is evaluated and classified as either covered or not covered.
Every covered behavior has a drop-down next to the word "Covered." By clicking, you can see the test case, which has covered the corresponding code behavior.
As shown above, the code behavior "Test adding two positive numbers" has been covered by the test case "test_add_positive_numbers."
For uncovered behaviors, qodo has provided you the ability to generate tests by simply clicking the Generate test button.
Here, it generates a test case to cover the "divide numbers with negative integers" behavior.
After generating the tests, you can click the refresh button for the latest update about the number of covered code behaviors.
As in the example, it had 8 code behaviors covered in the beginning. After generating a test to cover one uncovered behavior and clicking the "Refresh" button, it updates the "Current Coverage."
Automatically updates the "Current Coverage"
Generate tests for sub-behaviors in the code
qodo allows you to explore sub-behaviors of your class and generate test cases to cover only them.
- Select the part of the code you need to cover.
- Repeat the above process.
The feature is still in its early stages, but it can be a valuable tool for developers as it can help developers save time, improve the quality of their code, and catch bugs early.
