News and Updates

2024-05-26:

Cover-Agent now supports nearly any LLM model in the world, using LiteLLM package.

Notice that GPT-4 outperforms almost any open-source model in the world when it comes to code tasks and following complicated instructions. However, we updated the post-processing scripts to be more comprehensive, and were able to successfully run the baseline script with llama3-8B and llama3-70B models, for example.

2024-05-09:

This repository includes the first known implementation of TestGen-LLM, described in the paper Automated Unit Test Improvement using Large Language Models at Meta.

Cover-Agent

Welcome to Cover-Agent. This focused project utilizes Generative AI to automate and enhance the generation of tests (currently mostly unit tests), aiming to streamline development workflows. Cover-Agent can run via a terminal, and is planned to be integrated into popular CI platforms. Test generation xxx

We invite the community to collaborate and help extend the capabilities of Cover Agent, continuing its development as a cutting-edge solution in the automated unit test generation domain. We also wish to inspire researchers to leverage this open-source tool to explore new test-generation techniques.

Overview

This tool is part of a broader suite of utilities designed to automate the creation of unit tests for software projects. Utilizing advanced Generative AI models, it aims to simplify and expedite the testing process, ensuring high-quality software development. The system comprises several components:

  1. Test Runner: Executes the command or scripts to run the test suite and generate code coverage reports.
  2. Coverage Parser: Validates that code coverage increases as tests are added, ensuring that new tests contribute to the overall test effectiveness.
  3. Prompt Builder: Gathers necessary data from the codebase and constructs the prompt to be passed to the Large Language Model (LLM).
  4. AI Caller: Interacts with the LLM to generate tests based on the prompt provided.

Installation and Usage

Requirements

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

  • OPENAI_API_KEY set in your environment variables, which is required for calling the OpenAI API.
  • Code Coverage tool: A Cobertura XML code coverage report is required for the tool to function correctly.
    • For example, in Python one could use pytest-cov. Add the --cov-report=xml option when running Pytest.
    • Note: We are actively working on adding more coverage types but please feel free to open a PR and contribute to cover_agent/CoverageProcessor.py

If running directly from the repository you will also need:

  • Python installed on your system.
  • Poetry installed for managing Python package dependencies. Installation instructions for Poetry can be found at https://python-poetry.org/docs/.

Standalone Runtime

The Cover Agent can be installed as a Python Pip package or run as a standalone executable.

Python Pip

To install the Python Pip package directly via GitHub run the following command:

pip install git+https://github.com/Codium-ai/cover-agent.git

Binary

The binary can be run without any Python environment installed on your system (e.g. within a Docker container that does not contain Python). You can download the release for your system by navigating to the project's release page.

Repository Setup

Run the following command to install all the dependencies and run the project from source:

poetry install

Running the Code

After downloading the executable or installing the Pip package you can run the Cover Agent to generate and validate unit tests. Execute it from the command line by using the following command:

cover-agent \
  --source-file-path "<path_to_source_file>" \
  --test-file-path "<path_to_test_file>" \
  --code-coverage-report-path "<path_to_coverage_report>" \
  --test-command "<test_command_to_run>" \
  --test-command-dir "<directory_to_run_test_command>" \
  --coverage-type "<type_of_coverage_report>" \
  --desired-coverage <desired_coverage_between_0_and_100> \
  --max-iterations <max_number_of_llm_iterations> \
  --included-files "<optional_list_of_files_to_include>"

You can use the example projects within this repository to run this code as a test.

Follow the steps in the README.md file located in the templated_tests/python_fastapi/ directory, then return to the root of the repository and run the following command to add tests to the python fastapi example:

cover-agent \
  --source-file-path "templated_tests/python_fastapi/app.py" \
  --test-file-path "templated_tests/python_fastapi/test_app.py" \
  --code-coverage-report-path "templated_tests/python_fastapi/coverage.xml" \
  --test-command "pytest --cov=. --cov-report=xml --cov-report=term" \
  --test-command-dir "templated_tests/python_fastapi" \
  --coverage-type "cobertura" \
  --desired-coverage 70 \
  --max-iterations 10

For an example using go cd into templated_tests/go_webservice, set up the project following the README.md. To work with coverage reporting, you need to install gocov and gocov-xml. Run the following commands to install these tools:

go install github.com/axw/gocov/[email protected]
go install github.com/AlekSi/[email protected]

and then run the following command:

cover-agent \
  --source-file-path "app.go" \
  --test-file-path "app_test.go" \
  --code-coverage-report-path "coverage.xml" \
  --test-command "go test -coverprofile=coverage.out && gocov convert coverage.out | gocov-xml > coverage.xml" \
  --test-command-dir $(pwd) \
  --coverage-type "cobertura" \
  --desired-coverage 70 \
  --max-iterations 1

Try and add more tests to this project by running this command at the root of this repository:

poetry run cover-agent \
  --source-file-path "cover_agent/main.py" \
  --test-file-path "tests/test_main.py" \
  --code-coverage-report-path "coverage.xml" \
  --test-command "poetry run pytest --junitxml=testLog.xml --cov=templated_tests --cov=cover_agent --cov-report=xml --cov-report=term --log-cli-level=INFO" \
  --coverage-type "cobertura" \
  --desired-coverage 70 \
  --max-iterations 1 \
  --model "gpt-4o"

Note: If you are using Poetry then use the poetry run cover-agent command instead of the cover-agent run command.

Outputs

A few debug files will be outputted locally within the repository (that are part of the .gitignore)

  • generated_prompt.md: The full prompt that is sent to the LLM
  • run.log: A copy of the logger that gets dumped to your stdout
  • test_results.html: A results table that contains the following for each generated test:
    • Test status
    • Failure reason (if applicable)
    • Exit code,
    • stderr
    • stdout
    • Generated test

Using other LLMs

This project uses LiteLLM to communicate with OpenAI and other hosted LLMs (supporting 100+ LLMs to date). To use a different model other than the OpenAI default you'll need to:

  1. Export any environment variables needed by the supported LLM following the LiteLLM instructions.
  2. Call the name of the model using the --model option when calling Cover Agent.

For example (as found in the LiteLLM Quick Start guide):

export VERTEX_PROJECT="hardy-project"
export VERTEX_LOCATION="us-west"

cover-agent \
  ...
  --model "vertex_ai/gemini-pro"

Development

This section discusses the development of this project.

Versioning

Before merging to main make sure to manually increment the version number in cover_agent/version.txt at the root of the repository.

Running Tests

Set up your development environment by running the poetry install command as you did above.

Note: for older versions of Poetry you may need to include the --dev option to install Dev dependencies.

After setting up your environment run the following command:

poetry run pytest --junitxml=testLog.xml --cov=templated_tests --cov=cover_agent --cov-report=xml --cov-report=term --log-cli-level=INFO

This will also generate all logs and output reports that are generated in .github/workflows/ci_pipeline.yml.
