What's new in Tusk

One popular request from our customers was the ability to generate tests from within the IDE.
This month, we released a new backfill feature that allows developers to generate unit and API tests by simply leaving code comments as they write code in their IDE.
Devs can mention the keyword UseTusk in a code comment to mark a function for test generation. Tusk will parse the comment and generate tests for the function once the PR/MR is raised.
function calculateTotal(items) {
// [UseTusk] generate unit tests
// Optional: additional context to help guide test generation
let sum = 0
for (const item of items) {
sum += item.price
}
return sum
}
In other news, we've improved the clustering of PR/MR's changes for better context management and increased accuracy of test file placement. Other optimizations were made to Tusk's ability to generate full test files (combining multiple test cases) and de-duplicate tests.
