Visual Studio IntelliTest: Automated .NET Path-Covering Unit Tests

IntelliTest dynamically analyzes .NET methods to generate parameterized tests exercising branches, exceptions, and edge cases.

Core Features

• Symbolic + Dynamic Exploration: Inputs synthesized to reach code paths.
• Parameterized Test Output: MSTest / NUnit / xUnit generation.
• Failure Discovery: Exposes hidden null/overflow edge cases.
• Incremental Regeneration: Update tests after code changes.

Testing Use Cases

• Bootstrapping regression safety nets for legacy C# code.
• Hardening critical algorithms before refactors.

Integrations

• Visual Studio Enterprise Test Explorer; CI-friendly test artifacts.

Adoption Indicators

• Longstanding (Pex lineage) niche but valued by advanced .NET teams.

Best For

• Enterprise .NET services demanding high path coverage.
