With AI Assistant, you can generate unit tests for code segments. AI Assistant analyzes both your code and its documentation to recommend tests that will provide insights into your code's behavior.
Place the caret somewhere within a class or a specific method and right-click to open the context menu.
Alternatively, press AltEnter.
Select AI Actions and then Generate Unit Tests.
The generated test opens in a separate AI Diff tab.
If you want to improve the generated code, click Specify, add new requirements, and press Enter.
If you want to regenerate the answer, click Regenerate.
If you want to modify the prompt, click Customize Prompt and provide new instructions. The changes will take effect from the next test generation attempt.
Click Accept all to save the generated test.
It will be shown as a new file in a separate tab.
If you already have a test module in your project, the new test will be stored there. If not, the new test will be stored next to the source file.
tip
If you are developing a custom plugin, and you want to enhance or fine-tune the test generation functionality provided by AI Assistant, you can do so by using the com.intellij.ml.llm.generateTestsSupportextension point.
