BaseRock AI: All You Need for Unit Testing Excellence

As AI propels us into an era of smarter technology, robust and intelligent test automation is no longer optional – It’s essential.

The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai reveals that:

 “ Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers”. 

In 2025, as AI agents take on a significant role in enhancing accuracy, this percentage could rise to 60–80%, with test automation driving this transformation to the forefront. 

Introduction: 

Baserock AI is a generative AI (genAI) based modern software quality assurance (QA) platform. It enables software developers to efficiently test feature code and perform microservice testing. BaseRock AI support for multiple programming languages like Java, JavaScript (JS) , TypeScript (TS), Kotlin, Python etc on different IDEs like inteliJ and VS code.

What makes BaseRock AI a Game-Changer?

1. Simplicity meets Elegance: The BaseRock AI plugin has been designed for effortless usability, it combines intuitive functionality with powerful capabilities to deliver precise and reliable unit tests—making quality assurance both simple and sophisticated. 
2. Self Correct AI Agentic Workflow: It features a unique ability to self-correct buggy test code, ensuring improved accuracy and higher test coverage with each iteration. This standout capability sets BaseRock AI apart from the competition, making it a true game-changer in automated testing.

3. Self-Hosting Capabilities for LLMs: BaseRock AI enables seamless integration with the latest open-source models, including Gemma, the Llama series, Qwen, Mistral, and more. With its plugin, you can deploy LLMs directly within your own cloud infrastructure, ensuring that no data leaves your VPC. Additionally, BaseRock AI offers its own fine-tuned model, hosted on its servers, to provide on-demand support. This approach prioritizes data privacy while offering flexible deployment options.
4. Competitive Test Coverage: By utilizing its innovative self-correcting agentic AI workflow and extensive in-context memory, the system generates unit test code that ensures comprehensive coverage of all critical scenarios. These include happy paths, edge cases, error handling, and precise mocking of imported classes. This approach delivers reliable and thorough test coverage, ensuring robust and dependable results.
5. Intuitive Reports: A standout feature is the developer-friendly display of test cases, where passing tests are highlighted with green icons and failing tests with red icons. Debugging is made simple—clicking on a failing test case reveals detailed error information and directs you to the relevant test code. At the bottom of the report, you’ll also find comprehensive test coverage metrics for both the source code and its dependencies, providing clear insights at a glance.

Getting Started With BaseRock AI

1. Installations: You can install the BaseRock AI plugin directly from the marketplace. Follow these simple steps to seamlessly integrate and use the BaseRock AI plugin with VSCode.

• Open VS Code and navigate to your project directory.
• Navigate to the Extensions tab, search for 'BaseRock AI Unit Test,' and download the latest version of the plugin.
• Log in or sign up using various options such as GitHub, Gmail, LinkedIn, and more.
• Open any of your code files, and you’ll see the CodeLens option, ‘BaseRock AI: Generate Tests.’ Effortlessly generate tests by either clicking on the CodeLens or by right-clicking and selecting ‘BaseRock AI: Generate Test’.

2. Settings: If you're generating tests for the first time, the BaseRock AI settings window will open, allowing you to customize your tests to suit your preferences. You’ll find options to adjust the test configurations as needed. Please note that most of these settings are optional. BaseRock AI automatically understands your current setup and generates the unit test code accordingly.
3. Create Your First Test: Generate Tests,’ and within a few seconds (depending on the size of the source code), a new test file will open. The system will automatically execute the generated tests to ensure they pass and achieve high coverage. If any test cases fail, BaseRock AI will attempt to fix the issues on the second or third try.
4. Test Reports:  Upon successful completion, you will see both the test file and the coverage report.
