Enhanced messaging for Diffblue Cover Reports

Diffblue Cover Reports, our tool providing data visualizations, has been updated to tell you when your report upload has been successful, and provide a link directly to that report. This applies to both uploading an existing report, and to creating and then uploading a new report. Please see here for our documentation on using Diffblue Cover Reports.

Updated Javadoc links

Following on from our previous update, providing a link to the method under test in the Javadoc of the test methods, we have now improved the Javadoc links for interfaces and combined tests.

Developer Edition trial available

We are delighted to now offer a 14-day trial version of our Developer Edition, which includes the Diffblue Cover CLI, as part of our new licensing option. We're really excited that you can now "try before you buy"! To download your trial of Diffblue Cover Developer Edition, please click here. Full information on all our options is also available here.

How do I automatically maintain all of these tests?

Use Diffblue Cover on any CI platform to automatically update your unit tests and catch regressions for every commit - watch this video to learn more.
