Agitar Software has announced a new version of AgitarOne, which claims to achieve 80% project code coverage out of the box, improving business agility by giving development teams a basic safety net of tests to reduce risk when changing applications.

“I can say with confidence that AgitarOne 4.2 is the world’s fastest and most powerful automated test generator for Java – nothing else comes even close,” said Alberto Savoia, CTO of Agitar.

“Starting from 20% or less code coverage, and faced with the prospect of having to write hundreds of thousands of lines of JUnit by hand just to catch up, is an understandably depressing prospect for developers – and a huge schedule hit and expense for the organisation. AgitarOne’s out-of-the-box automation gives developers the time to focus on testing the areas of the code that can benefit the most from human insight, intuition, and domain knowledge. Armed with AgitarOne, an organisation can transform its code base from fragile to agile, and have exhaustive tests without exhausted developers.”
