Ponicode CLI

Open your terminal, point it at your codebase, and let Ponicode CLI spin up the missing tests while you stay focused on shipping features. After installation, run a single command to scan your project, pick your test framework, and generate ready-to-run specs in the right folders. You’ll get a concise summary of what was created, what was skipped, and how it affects coverage. Nothing is overwritten without your say‑so: the tool respects existing files and highlights diffs so you can review changes before committing.

Day to day, you can target a module, a directory, or just changed files. Use flags to control how many scenarios are proposed per function, whether to include edge cases, and how mocks are set up for external calls. Ponicode CLI suggests inputs, builds assertions, and proposes names that follow your conventions. If the first pass isn’t perfect, rerun it with stricter rules or prune generated tests interactively. Keep a fast loop: generate, run your test runner, fix any flaky expectations, and re‑sync. The goal is to move quickly from zero or thin coverage to dependable suites you trust.

For team flows, wire Ponicode CLI into CI to keep quality steady. On pull requests, run it in “incremental” mode so only new or modified code gets attention, then execute the tests and fail the job if minimum thresholds aren’t met. Use exit codes to gate merges, and export reports as artifacts your team can inspect. Pair it with a pre‑commit hook to stage just the files the tool touched. Because output is deterministic given the same inputs, reviews stay predictable, and large repos can schedule nightly passes to keep up as the code evolves.

When you need more control, drop a config file in the repo. Set coverage targets per package, exclude noisy paths, define output directories, pick your preferred assertion style, and tune timeouts for integration‑heavy areas. Seed generators for stable data, supply custom factories for domain models, and map HTTP or DB clients to your favorite mocking libraries. As APIs change, run the update command to refresh specs without losing hand‑written logic. Use the built‑in report to spot gaps by module, create a backlog of quick wins, and close them sprint by sprint—no more stalling on test debt while the product moves forward.
