Test Organization Annotations

Test organization annotations allow users to control how tests are organized and structured.

Using @WriteTestsTo

@WriteTestsTo annotation is available from cover-annotation version 1.9.0.

The @WriteTestsTo annotation directs Diffblue Cover to write tests for a specific source class into a designated test class file, rather than following the default naming template (configured via --class-name-template).

The specified test class name must be a valid ava classname, and the test class will be created (if it does not already exist) in the test folder under the same package structure as the source class.

If an invalid classname is provided, cover will throw an error at environment checks stage.

package com.example.myapp;

@WriteTestsTo("CustomTestClassName")
public class SourceClass {
    public String getValue() {
        return "example";
    }
}
// Tests will be written to: src/test/java/com/example/myapp/CustomTestClassName.java

This annotation can only be applied at the class level.
