The Coco team is happy to announce the release of Coco 7.0, which centers around the newly developed and highly anticipated test framework “Coco Test Engine”. It helps developers achieve higher code coverage with their unit tests, by automatically generating test data and trying to maximize the number of lines and conditions covered by each unit test.
Writing unit tests and manually generating test data to achieve the required code coverage for your product can be a very tedious and time-consuming task. The new Coco Test Engine feature in Coco 7.0 reduces the complexity of this task by separating test code and test data. At the same time it can also increase the quality of your testing, as it will likely find relevant test data you would not have found when generating the test data manually.
