dotTEST 2025.2 Product Release Announcement
We are excited to introduce a comprehensive update to Parasoft dotTEST. The 2025.2 release delivers powerful new AI-powered capabilities, enhanced integration options, and key usability improvements to streamline development workflows and elevate code quality. Here are the highlights:
Intelligent Static Analysis Remediation
The feature leverages state-of-the-art LLM technology with dotTEST to automatically remediate code violations in your CI/CD pipelines. dotTEST identifies violations and uses AI to suggest accurate fixes, verifying each proposal to ensure issues are resolved without introducing new problems. Once validated, fixes are committed to your project’s working branch for manual review before merging.
Enhanced AI Integration: MCP Server Extension for LLM Agents
dotTEST tools can now be registered as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server extension, enabling smooth integration with LLM-based agents such as Copilot in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. Your AI copilot can:
- Access and interpret static analysis results to help you identify violations, prioritize critical issues, and propose effective fixes.
- Consult rules and documentation so you can ask targeted questions, group or prioritize rules, and tailor static analysis configurations to your organization’s standards.
- Deliver actionable guidance from the user guide, assisting with feature explanations and how-to suggestions.
- In Visual Studio Code, run static analysis and review results directly through Copilot Chat in the Problems view.
Code Coverage Enhancements
- No license required to generate static coverage images using the coverage tools.
- Improved automation for CI/CD: When using
agent_client.exe, user prompts in the command line interface can now be disabled at startup, streamlining pipeline setup (seenonInteractivefor details). - Miscellaneous usability improvements in
agent_client.exefor a better user experience.
Static Analysis Enhancements
dotTEST now features improved support for mathematical functions. Flow Analysis can interpret mathematical behavior, enabling more accurate results and constraint handling during static analysis.
LLM-based recommended fixes can now be generated for static analysis violations in VB.NET.
Deprecated and Removed Support
As part of our continuous modernization:
- Support for Windows 10 has been removed.
