How does it work?

Once your project is onboarded simply start generating unit tests by clicking the generate test option next to the chosen function or class. You can generate tests in 1 of three methods on public method/functions:

The play button in Early's VSCode extension UI,
Code lens above the method name on the code editor,
Via right-click on the method name on the code editor.

Coverage will be available on EarlyAI's UI once refreshed automatically and continuously grows as you add tests.

What Technologies do you support?

How do I get started with Early?

Add the Early extension via VSCode Marketplace. Register and authenticate via your email address, onboard your projects, and start generating unit tests by simply clicking on Early. Code is aggregated from your IDE and can automatically generate 30 unit tests in less than a minute. Early shows you the depth of coverage and the quality of your code. As an experimental feature, Early also generates failing tests for you to review, sometimes it’s very simple to convert them to working green tests.
