Diffblue
What it is: Autonomous Java unit test generation. AI analyzes code, writes regression tests automatically. Enterprise-focused.
What It Does Best
Fully autonomous. Point at Java codebase, Diffblue generates thousands of tests. No prompting. No guidance. Just done.
Regression safety net. Tests lock in current behavior. Refactor confidently knowing tests will catch breaks.
Legacy code rescue. Huge untested Java codebase? Diffblue gets you to 70-80% coverage automatically. Then humans finish.

Community: Free for individuals
Enterprise: Custom pricing (team licenses)
When to Use It
✅ Large Java codebase with low test coverage
✅ Need regression tests before refactoring
✅ Inherited legacy code without tests
✅ Enterprise Java shop (Spring, Hibernate)
When NOT to Use It
❌ Not using Java (tool is Java-only)
❌ Want behavior-driven tests (generates regression tests)
❌ Small codebase (manual testing fine)
Bottom line: Industrial-strength test generation for Java. Not sexy but solves real enterprise problem: testing legacy code at scale.
