We are thrilled to introduce Parasoft dotTEST 2026.1 — a landmark release that takes AI-powered development to the next level with full agentic workflow support, expanded compliance coverage, and a broad set of enhancements that make it easier than ever to deliver high-quality .NET code. Here are the highlights:

Agentic Development Workflows

dotTEST 2026.1 expands AI integration to support fully autonomous development workflows in CI/CD pipelines, LLM-enabled CLI environments, and IDEs — making dotTEST a first-class participant in AI-first software delivery.

  • Autonomous Static Analysis: AI coding agents can now execute static analysis, propose fixes for violations found by dotTEST, and verify that no new issues are introduced — all without manual intervention.
  • Coverage-Targeted Test Creation: AI coding agents can generate tests for uncovered lines of code within modified source files to improve coverage while keeping test suite growth under control.

Static Analysis Enhancements

  • Unused Suppression Detection: dotTEST can now detect and clean up unused suppressions. Results appear in generated XML reports, and suppressions can be automatically removed, improving code readability and maintainability.
  • Improved Violation Filtering: The filter for limiting violations reported per rule has been refined with a new option to exclude suppressed violations from the count.

Report Enhancements

  • New HTML Metrics Report: A dedicated metrics report now provides detailed values for specified metrics — including aggregated values and statistical summaries — simplifying data analysis and supporting informed decision-making.
  • Faster Report Generation: Performance of HTML report generation has been significantly improved, particularly for complex projects with large numbers of violations and suppressions.

Coverage Agent Enhancements

agent_client.exe now supports multiple coverage agents running concurrently. Each monitored application maintains an independent session, test, and test-case state without interfering with others.

We encourage you to explore all the new features and improvements in this release. Your feedback is invaluable — please share your experience to help us shape the future of dotTEST. For a complete listing, refer to our release notes.
