AI Test Generation

Automatically generate comprehensive test suites for your code using AI-powered analysis. Supports Vitest, Jest, Mocha, pytest, and Go test.

Automatically generate comprehensive test suites for your code using AI-powered analysis.

Quick Start

Via CLI (in chat mode)

xibecode chat
> generate tests for src/utils/helpers.ts

Via WebUI

Open the WebUI: xibecode ui --open
Go to the "Test Generator" tab
Enter file path
Click "Generate Tests"

Supported Frameworks

Framework	Language	Features
Vitest	JavaScript/TypeScript	describe/it blocks, vi.mock() setup, expect assertions
Jest	JavaScript/TypeScript	describe/it blocks, jest.mock() setup, expect assertions
Mocha	JavaScript/TypeScript	describe/it blocks, Sinon mocks, Chai assertions
pytest	Python	class TestX format, Mock/patch setup, assert statements
Go test	Go	func TestX format, testify/mock, assert package
Auto-detect	Any	Reads package.json, checks dependencies, falls back to Vitest

Features

Code Analysis — Understands functions, classes, types, imports, and exports. Detects complexity and dependencies.
Edge Case Generation — Automatically generates tests for null values, empty strings, boundary conditions, and error cases.
Type Checking — Creates assertions for return types, ensuring functions return expected data types.
Mock Setup — Automatically configures mocks for dependencies and external modules.

Tool API

generate_tests

Analyze a source file and generate comprehensive test cases.

Parameter	Type	Description
`file_path`	string	Path to source file (required)
`framework`	string	vitest, jest, mocha, pytest, go (auto-detected)
`output_dir`	string	Custom output directory for tests
`include_edge_cases`	boolean	Include edge case tests (default: true)
`include_mocks`	boolean	Include mock setup code (default: true)
`max_tests_per_function`	number	Maximum tests per function (default: 5)
`write_file`	boolean	Write to file (default: false)

analyze_code_for_tests

Analyze a source file to understand its structure before generating tests.

Parameter	Type	Description
`file_path`	string	Path to source file (required)

Example Output

Given a file with a calculateTotal function:

import { describe, it, expect, vi } from "vitest";
import { calculateTotal } from "../utils/helpers";

beforeEach(() => {
  vi.clearAllMocks();
});

describe("calculateTotal", () => {
  it("should execute calculateTotal successfully", () => {
    expect(calculateTotal([])).toBeDefined();
  });

  it("should return correct type from calculateTotal", () => {
    expect(typeof calculateTotal([])).toBe("number");
  });

  it("should handle empty array", () => {
    expect(calculateTotal([])).toBe(0);
  });

  it("should handle single element", () => {
    expect(calculateTotal([10])).toBe(10);
  });

  it("should handle errors in calculateTotal", () => {
    expect(() => calculateTotal(undefined)).toThrow();
  });
});

Generated Test Types

Type	Description	Example
`unit`	Basic functionality tests	Function returns expected value
`edge`	Edge case and boundary tests	Empty string, null, MAX_INT
`boundary`	Boundary condition tests	Array length 0, 1, MAX
`error`	Error handling tests	Invalid input throws error

Best Practices

Review generated tests — AI-generated tests are a starting point, not the final product
Add domain-specific assertions — The generator may miss business logic requirements
Use write_file: false first — Preview tests before writing to disk
Run tests after generation — Verify they pass and cover expected behavior
Customize edge cases — Add project-specific edge cases as needed

WebUI Integration

The easiest way to use test generation is through the WebUI:

xibecode ui --open

Then navigate to the "Test Generator" tab for a visual interface with file path input, framework selection, and instant preview of generated tests.
