To generate the tests, the plugin identifies the syntax tree of the code and simulates events synthetically, creating a boilerplate for unit tests.

For the past 6 months, we have been talking to 100+ developers every week and figured out a few software engineering personas.

In my demos, I am often asked if we are using some generative AI to write unit tests or some ChatGPT integration. I will write a separate post about ChatGPT writing unit tests but for now, I want to explain how Unlogged works, with a simple example.

A lot has been said about unit tests, their usability, efforts vs reward and their inevitable comparison with end-to-end test cases. Our insight is that developers mainly avoid writing unit tests since it takes time.
