AI-powered test generation that actually works.
Generate, verify, and auto-fix tests with any LLM.
Docs · Install · Quick Start · GitHub
Most AI test generators write tests that don't pass. testpilot-ai generates, runs, and auto-fixes tests in a loop until they actually work.
- Self-healing tests — Verify & auto-fix loop until all tests pass
- AST analysis — TypeScript compiler API extracts functions, classes, types, JSDoc
- Coverage-gap filling — Parse lcov/cobertura, generate tests for uncovered code
- Any LLM — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama (local models)
- 4 frameworks — Vitest, Jest, Mocha, Node test runner
- Context-aware — Follows relative imports for richer prompts
- Analyze command — Find files that need tests
npm install -D @amit641/testpilot-ai# Generate tests for a file
npx testpilot src/utils.ts
# Generate AND verify — auto-fix until all tests pass
npx testpilot src/utils.ts --verify
# Use a specific provider
npx testpilot src/utils.ts --provider anthropic --model claude-sonnet-4-20250514
# Analyze your project for untested files
npx testpilot analyze
# Use local models with Ollama (no API key needed)
npx testpilot src/utils.ts --provider ollama --model llama3The killer feature. With --verify, testpilot-ai doesn't just generate tests — it runs them and fixes failures automatically:
npx testpilot src/utils.ts --verify⚡ testpilot — AI-powered test generation
Provider: openai (gpt-4o)
Framework: vitest
Verify & fix: enabled
● Generating tests for utils.ts...
✔ wrote src/utils.test.ts
▶ Verify iteration 1/3...
⚠ 3/12 tests failed — sending to LLM for auto-fix...
▶ Verify iteration 2/3...
✔ All 12 tests pass!
Done! Generated 12 tests across 1 file(s)
✔ All tests verified and passing
The loop:
- Generate tests using AST analysis + LLM
- Run them with your test framework
- Collect failures with error messages and stack traces
- Send failures back to the LLM: "here's the source code, here's the failing test, here's the error — fix it"
- Write the fixed tests and repeat (up to 3 iterations by default)
Find files that need tests, optionally using coverage data:
npx testpilot analyze⚡ testpilot analyze
Coverage: 67.3% (1240/1842 lines)
Target: 80%
Files: 23
Files below target:
File Coverage Tests?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
src/utils/parser.ts 12.5% no
src/services/auth.ts 34.2% yes
src/handlers/webhook.ts 45.0% no
src/middleware/cors.ts 61.8% yes
Generate tests: testpilot generate <file> --verify
If no coverage data exists, it scans for source files without corresponding test files.
Usage: testpilot [options] [command]
Commands:
generate <target> Generate tests for a file or directory (default)
analyze Analyze project for files needing tests
help [command] Display help
Generate Options:
-p, --provider <provider> LLM provider (openai, anthropic, google, ollama)
-m, --model <model> Model to use
-k, --api-key <key> API key (or use env var)
-f, --framework <framework> Test framework: vitest, jest, mocha, node
-o, --out-dir <dir> Output directory for test files
--overwrite Overwrite existing test files
--verify Run tests and auto-fix failures
--fix-iterations <n> Max auto-fix iterations (default: 3)
--no-edge-cases Skip edge case tests
--no-error-handling Skip error handling tests
--instructions <text> Additional instructions for the LLM
--dry-run Preview without writing files
-V, --version Output the version number
Analyze Options:
-t, --target <rate> Coverage target (0-1, default: 0.8)
-l, --limit <n> Max files to show (default: 15)

- Analyze — TypeScript compiler API extracts functions, classes, parameters, types, JSDoc
- Context — Follows relative imports to gather type definitions and related code
- Prompt — Builds rich prompts with exact import lines, parameter types, and source code
- Generate — Streams output from any LLM provider via aiclientjs
- Write — Strips markdown artifacts, writes clean test file
- Verify (optional) — Runs tests, collects failures, sends to LLM for fixing, repeats
