The benefit of this approach is that Agitator will often create tests that developers would overlook due to excess familiarity with the code. Its flagship Agitator product (see our April 2006 review) reads through Java code, creates tests on the fly, runs them in the background, and then reports the results (successes and failures) as well as the lines of code that were not exercised. By following a dictum of "unit test, rather than debug," developers and their managers identify problems early and solve them as they go, giving them confidence in the code under development and assurance that a project will not founder once development completes and the quality assurance engineers start testing.Īgitar is a company whose entire product line is devoted to unit testing.
Unit testing - a form of software testing done by developers using hundreds of small, fast tests - is a central practice at sites that are committed to software quality.
