Writing tests

To write tests using Cover Plugin for IntelliJ:

IntelliJ	Action
Editor Panel	Click the Write Tests gutter icon.
Editor Panel	Right-click a method or class and select Write Tests.
Editor Panel	Select Diffblue > Write Tests from the IntelliJ menu.
Project Tool Window	Right-click a folder or file and select Write Tests.
Structure Tool Window	Right-click a method or class and select Write Tests.
Run Configurations	Select Run > Edit Configurations from the IntelliJ menu.

Once started, if you need to cancel the test writing process at any point, click the red Stop button in the Cover Plugin tool window.

In general, if the Write Tests option is available then Cover Plugin can write tests for your methods or classes. However:

• Cover is not always able to write a complete test, instead it might create a partial test - see Creating partial tests.

• If you don't want to write a complete test, Cover Plugin can help set up your tests by creating a skeleton test instead - see Creating skeleton tests.
