Instant Unit tests boilerplate with syntax analysis + synthetic events
How does Unlogged generate an instant boilerplate for unit tests?
A lot of folks asked us if we use Codex or other generative techniques to create a boilerplate for unit tests.
No. Here is how we do it.
We figure out the syntax tree of the code. We traverse over the AST to identify what’s happening inside a method body. We look for any variables getting initialized or any methods being called - we keep a track of their type information too. We then simulate events synthetically and using those events, we create a boilerplate for unit tests.
Our current focus is to make the product work fully offline, and syntax tree + synthetic events help us keep it offline.
