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.
