Early: AI-Powered Automated Unit Testing

Early is an AI-powered platform designed to automate the generation of high-quality unit tests and provide comprehensive code coverage analysis for pull requests. By integrating seamlessly into your CI/CD pipeline, Early helps engineering teams deliver reliable code at scale, reduce potential bugs, and maintain consistent testing standards across the organization.

What is Early?

Early is an AI-driven solution that analyzes your codebase and automatically generates unit tests. It focuses on ensuring consistent usage and coverage across the entire organization through CI/CD integration. This helps teams ship code faster with the assurance that every change is properly tested.

How does Early work?

Early leverages AI to understand your code and generate effective unit tests. It offers two primary components:

• Early Catch: Generates and maintains tests for every pull request and commit.
• Early Verify: Keeps code coverage high and secures APIs with nightly scans.

The platform also includes:

• Early Engine: Ensures high-quality, working test creation.
• Collaborative Agent: Focuses test generation on high-priority code.

Key Features and Benefits

• Automated Test Generation: Early automates the creation of unit tests, saving developers significant time and effort.
• CI/CD Integration: Seamlessly integrates into your CI/CD pipeline, ensuring tests are run automatically with each commit and pull request.
• Consistent Test Standards: Enforces consistent test standards and quality benchmarks across all teams.
• Complete Visibility: Provides comprehensive tracking of code coverage, test quality, and history across your codebase.
• Flexible Triggers: Generate tests on every new pull request or on-demand for entire repositories.
• Team Coverage: Enables automated test generation across your entire engineering organization, promoting a culture of testing.
• Central Control: Allows you to define testing policies centrally while teams stay focused on building.

Why Choose Early?

Engineering leaders choose Early for several reasons:

• Scale Confidence: Ship faster with the assurance that every change is properly tested.
• Reduce Bugs: Identify potential bugs early in the development process, minimizing the risk of shipping faulty code.
• Increase Productivity: Automate test generation, freeing up developers to focus on more strategic tasks.
• Improve Code Quality: Enforce consistent testing standards and promote a culture of quality code.

Who is Early for?

Early is designed for engineering teams of all sizes, especially those:

• Using CI/CD pipelines to automate their software development process.
