Wasted hours on Unit tests, so I built VS Code ext for AI tests
Hey guys, I'm investing a ton of time on writing unit tests, for both enterprise and personal projects. I came up with the idea to make extension for AI-generated tests and cases within a VS Code. Happy to hear feedback, both positive and negative.
Wasted hours on Unit tests, so I built VS Code ext for AI tests launched on January 15, 2024 with 15 votes, #1,068 of 4,438 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.
In plain words
This VS Code extension uses AI to automatically generate unit tests and test cases, designed for developers working on enterprise and personal projects who spend significant time writing tests manually. The tool integrates directly into VS Code to streamline test creation. It targets programmers looking to reduce the time spent on test writing while maintaining code quality.

You get screenshots, videos, and run logs. I built Ito because manual verification sucks and I thought I could automate it. I've been a professional developer for 15 years and now more than ever, I'm just spending time making sure things work. I looked into all of the other agentic testing tools that click around a url you give them and frankly, they sucked. They just didn't work. I figured to be able to actually testing things you need to run…

I built this because Cursor, Claude Code and other agentic AI tools kept giving me tests that looked fine but failed when I ran them. Or worse - I'd ask the agent to run them and it would start looping: fix tests, those fail, then it starts "fixing" my code so tests pass, or just deletes assertions so they "pass". Out of that frustration I built KeelTest - a VS Code extension that generates pytest tests and executes them, got hooked and decided to push this project forward... When tests fail, it tries to figure out why: - Generation error: Attemps to fix it automatically, then tries again -…
