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.”

Automated software testing solutions provider Parasoft demonstrated new features in an update to its Jtest tool. A next-generation Unit Test Assistant for Java is designed to help developers more efficiently write JUnit unit tests by guiding them through the process. Further, Parasoft is helping Spring developers with the release of support for Spring Boot, with annotation- and XML-based Spring configurations.

Also, support for mocking has been extended to PowerMock, which the company said will give more flexibility when isolating code under test. Full IntelliJ support and JUnit 5 support are expected in the first quarter of next year.

JNBridge introduced Java.VS, a plug-in to Microsoft’s IDE that allows developers to write Java code in Visual Studio.

According to the company, Java.VS includes a Java code editor, adds a Java project system, enables Java developers to use the VS build system and debugger interface and lets coders launch Java applications against any standard Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

ZeroTurnaround was showing JRebel 7.1.0 with full Java 9 support at the conference. Simon Maple, director of developer relations for the company, explained that the new version of JRebel supports reloading on JDK9 and module.info.java as changes to the application are made at runtime.

“One thing that has not changed with Java 9 is the continued inability to support reloading class changes at runtime – without having to restart or redeploy your application. Redeploys continue to be a time sink, resulting in lost developer productivity, usually hours of time every week. Incorporating JRebel into your Java 9 development tool chain allows you to skip the time-consuming build and redeploy steps. JRebel supports reloading classes so you get the benefit of being able to do full class reloading during development, without the need for restarting or redeploying your application,” said Jevgeni Kabanov, founder and CEO of ZeroTurnaround.
