Cantata 26.01 now available
AI-Assisted Test Generation for Cantata
Cantata 26.01 introduces the Cantata Test Automation Skill: a new integration that brings AI-assisted test generation into your Cantata workflow. By combining Cantata's proven testing framework with the capabilities of Claude Code (Anthropic's agentic coding tool), this skill enables developers to generate unit tests for C/C++ source code using natural language commands.
Visual Studio Code Extension
The new VS Code extension in Cantata 26.01 allows the creation of Cantata test scripts directly within the IDE, featuring a fresh new user interface and extensive configurability. To create a new test script, developers start by opening the test script configuration view. Within this interface, they can select the source files to be tested, define the script name, and configure other basic settings from the main configuration tab. Additional tabs provide more detailed controls, such as options for stubs and wrappers, while advanced customization is available through the extension settings for even greater control over the test script.
