Unit-Test Export Frameworks Across UI, REST, and MCP

We added a dedicated Code (Unit Test) export capability that now works consistently across the UI, REST API, and MCP tool interfaces.

Generated output is data-driven (parameterized) test code, with shared options for suite naming, setup scaffolding, pretty print, and data source strategy.

Code vs Code (Unit Test)​

  • Code export outputs plain data structures in a programming language (for example arrays/objects/maps) that you can use anywhere in application code.
  • Code (Unit Test) export outputs parameterized test scaffolding for a specific unit test framework, including test-case feeding and assertion skeletons.

In short: Code is data-as-code; Code (Unit Test) is test-scaffold-as-code.

What Is Included​

Supported frameworks:

  • Java: junit4, junit5, junit6, testng
  • Python: pytest, unittest, nose2
  • JavaScript: jest, vitest, mocha
  • C#: xunit, nunit, mstest
  • Ruby: rspec, minitest
  • PHP: phpunit, pest
  • Kotlin: kotest, junit5-kotlin, spek
  • Perl: test-more, test2-suite

Interfaces​

The same output formats are available in:

  • Web UI: Code (Unit Test) tab with language-specific framework options
  • REST: existing /v1/generate and /v1/generate/fromschema endpoints via outputFormat
  • MCP: existing generation tool format enum/options

Example: Generated Vitest Unit Test​

import { describe, expect, it } from 'vitest';

const rows = [
  { Name: 'Connie', Age: 21 },
  { Name: 'Miles', Age: 34 },
];

describe('GeneratedDataTests', () => {
  it.each(rows)('row_parameterized_%#', (row) => {
    const actual = mapRowUnderTest(row);
    expect(actual['Name']).toStrictEqual(row['Name']);
    expect(actual['Age']).toStrictEqual(row['Age']);
  });
});

function mapRowUnderTest(input: Record<string, unknown>) {
  // Replace with your SUT call, e.g. return userMapper.normalize(input);
  return input;
}
