please check the query
Hi all,

What is the learning time estimated for this tool?

The end output is that all manual test cases should be automated.
I saw some samples from the test cases that this tool auto-generates. These test cases can only test technical robustness of the code, not its correctness.

i. It means that we have to write code (or use the GUI given to define what our unit test case should do)

ii. In the above context, are there are any estimates for time required for a team to scale up.

Regards,
Hemachandra.

    jtest can generate enough test cases to cover on average 70% of the code. If you were writing test cases to satisfy such criteria, it would take a very long time without jtest. if one were to only verify the correctness of the semantic behavior of only some of these cases, then time is definitely saved.

    consider the easiest to explain case:

    for the method,

    add (int a, int B) {
    return a + b'
    }

    Jtest would generate the input, 7, 7 and record the result as 14. The developer need not think about how the test was created he/she need only look at the result of the test and validate that the code is behaving correctly. So also, some time is saved.

    consider that to write a test case ould take some time, for example to get enough test cases to cover 70% of the code may take months of time, when it takes jtest only minutes, then the benefits are made clear.
