UTBot C/C++ generates test cases by code, trying to cover a maximum number of statements and execution paths. We treat source code as a source of truth, assuming that behavior is correct and corresponds to initial user demand. Generated tests are placed in the so-called regression suite. Thus, we fix current behavior with the help of generated test cases. Using UTBot for C/C++, developers obtain full control of their code. No future change can break the code without being noticed once it's covered with tests generated by UTBot. This way, modifications made by developers to an existing code are much safer. Hence, with the help of generated unit tests, UTBot provides dramatic code quality improvement.
