Jtest now includes test templates in Unit Test Assistant, which is a feature that uses AI to generate a suite of tests. With the new Jtest release, testers get more control over the structure of their test classes and can specify common configurations that their tests require.

Jtest can also now run test impact analysis right from within the IDE. Whenever a code change is made, Jtest will identify and execute tests and provide feedback to the developer on the impact of their modifications.

“With the new Jtest release, developers get real-time insights into which tests are impacted by their code changes,” Igor Kirilenko, chief product officer at Parasoft, told SD Times. “While you are still modifying your code, Jtest automatically runs the relevant tests and delivers instant feedback. This groundbreaking feature not only saves time but also ensures that potential bugs are caught and fixed before they ever reach the build pipeline.”

In Jtest and dotTEST, an integration with OpenAI/Azure OpenAI Service provides AI-generated fixes for flow analysis violations. 

Jtest and dotTEST also now support the latest version of the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) list, 4.14. Additionally, both have improved out-of-the-box static analysis test configurations.

And finally, DTP’s integration with OpenAI/Azure OpenAI Service speeds up remediation of security vulnerabilities by matching security rule violations to known vulnerabilities, and then coming up with a probability score of the likelihood of each being a real vulnerability or a false positive. 

“Developers often face significant cognitive load when triaging static analysis violations, particularly those related to security,” Jeehong Min, technical product manager at Parasoft, told SD Times. “Each security rule comes with its own learning curve, requiring time to understand its nuances. To assist developers, Parasoft DTP offers recommendations powered by pre-trained machine learning models and models that learn from the development team’s triage behavior. The ultimate goal is to help developers make informed decisions when triaging and remediating static analysis violations.”

“Not only must software get out the door fast, but software must work,” said Wayne Ariola, chief strategy officer at Parasoft. “There is a great penalty today for something not working versus something working as expected, because the option to switch is pretty much ubiquitous.”

The DTP is an open platform that provides insights into areas for potential application failure, and it tells developers where to take action, according to Ariola. With the latest release, development teams can get a reliable analysis of their application using any open-source or third-party code-analysis or test tool they please. “We don’t care what tools you use; we are going to be a central platform, accept the information from the tools, and process it as if you were all using the same tools,” he said.

“As an organization or as management within the organization, you can actually get a very consistent understanding of quality of the application coming through the life cycle.”

According to Ariola, the biggest improvement to the DTP is its enhancement to the Process Intelligence Engine (PIE), which provides different classes of test data to help developers understand exactly how well their code was tested and developed. New PIE slice templates have been added to allow developers to build and deploy logic flows that perform post-analysis analysis, such as calculating risk analysis, injecting smart metadata, and triggering workflows.

Other improvements to the DTP include the addition of a metrics explorer view, new widgets, reports and UI enhancements, and extended code analysis.

“The expanded domains of data provided by the engines in this release truly enables DTP and the process intelligence engine to provide even greater insight into an organizations software development process,” said Mark Lambert, vice president of products for Parasoft. “This translates to more informed business decisions and focused developer actions.”
