Improved messaging and guidance in test verification, and more tests for Spring methods requiring Repository mocking. A number of previous issues have also been resolved.

Version 2020.07.b

Jul 20, 2020

Cover now supports mocking of classes via the --mock option. A single class, or a series of strings which represent the prefixes of classes to be mocked can be specified. It also creates tests for exceptions, defined by a throw statement, if a non-exception test case is present for the method being tested. Support for JUnit 4.13 has been added.

Version 2020.07.a

Jul 06, 2020

Cover now provides improved information, and guidance, if an incomplete class path is provided, if tests are discarded during test verification, or if initialization fails on Spring projects. In addition, when appropriate, Cover now writes tests which use the @ContextConfiguration annotation instead of @SpringBootTest.

Version 2020.06.b

Jun 22, 2020

Cover now supports smart mocking of autowired beans, resulting in increased Spring code coverage. Cover is now also able to purge user threads during ‘Essential Test’ generation, reducing the risk of exhausting JVM and/or system resources.

May 12, 2020

When running either DCover or the plugin on a project that has previously been analysed, the existing index will now be updated for any changed source files and reused, rather than generating a new index of the whole project from scratch.

Version 2020.04.b

Apr 28, 2020

Improvements have been made in three areas: The choice of input values for strings, Gradle classpath detection support and performance improvements for test generation in Spring projects.

Version 2020.04.a

Apr 14, 2020

Gradle configuration is now automatically detected, and Spring Repository Beans are mocked using @MockBean and Mockito. Tests are now created that require calling setter methods and require more complex constructors, increasing the number of branches tested.

Version 2020.03.c

Mar 30, 2020

For the CLI version: Besides the classpath, we now also detect the testing framework, version, compliance level and the test verification command automatically from the Maven configuration. For the plugin version: The status of test creation for each method is now displayed clearly in the progress bar and event log.

Version 2020.03.b

Mar 16, 2020

Tests are now created for Spring `@Service` and `@Repository` classes. Tests created for classes using the Spring Framework also support JUnit 5.

Jan 24, 2020

Advanced tests cover several paths in a test method, increasing the ability of the test suite to catch regresssions.

Version 2020.01.a

Improvements to the test-generation engine to minimise non-compiling and/or non-passing tests, and CLI option to remove these tests. Removed trivial tests that only contain `assertNotNull` on an object.
