    I don't write unit tests nearly as much as I should 😅 Probably spend like 10% of my coding time on tests when it should be more like 30-40%. That tool sounds really cool though, would definitely help me up my testing game! 💪 Integrating with GitHub to auto-generate tests based on reading the code would be slick. 🤖

    @christopher_andersona Haha, you're definitely not alone in that! 😅 A lot of us know we should be writing more tests, but it's tough to balance everything. Would love to hear how GoCodeo works for you once you’ve had a chance to try it out!

    @samalyx Awesome idea! Notified! Would be great if it can also create feature tests. How does it work? Will it integrate with github, read the code and create them?

    @rutgerrr Thanks for the awesome suggestion. Currently, we are focused on automating unit testing, but expanding into feature tests is something we are definitely considering. We plan to integrate with GitHub, enabling GoCodeo to read real-time code, analyze it, and generate tests. We are always working to expand GoCodeo’s capabilities, and this is exactly the type of feedback that helps shape our roadmap! Keep an eye out, as we hope to make feature tests a reality soon.

    I probably spend about 25 30% of my time writing unit test. It can feel tedious sometimes, but they definitely save me from bigger issues later on. GoCodeo sounds interesting automating that part would be a good!

    Unit testing takes up more time than I'd like about 30 40%. If GoCodeo could reduce that and help me catch bugs earlier, that would be huge. Definitely keeping an eye on this launch!

    I spend a solid chunk of time on unit tests, maybe 20%. It's necessary, but honestly, I’d rather focus on writing new features. If GoCodeo can save time while keeping quality high, I’m in!

    @talia_cooper Spending so much time on unit tests can definitely take away from the fun part - building new features. If GoCodeo can help free up your time and keep things running smoothly, that’s a win in our book. Let me know what you think if you give it a try!

    I spend around 25% of my time on unit tests. If GoCodeo can save me that much time and help catch bugs earlier, I’m definitely interested. Automated testing sounds like a huge win!

    Unit testing takes up a solid chunk of my time about 30%. If GoCodeo’s AI can streamline this and spot issues before they become problems, that could be helpful for my productivity.

    @garrett_adams Thanks for sharing! It sounds like you're dealing with the same pain point we built GoCodeo to solve.

    I usually spend around 20% of my time on unit tests. The idea of automated, adaptive testing sounds fantastic and especially if it can help with faster debugging and less manual work.

    @summer_graham It's awesome that you're already thinking about ways to make debugging and manual work faster. Automating that process can really shift the balance, freeing you up for more interesting tasks. Would love to hear how GoCodeo works for you once you’ve had a chance to try it out!

    For me, it depends on what kind of features are being implemented and how likely they will change soon. For critical functions or complex logic, I spend a lot (50+), but for things that are easy to understand, maybe 10%.

    Automated unit testing can greatly streamline development by reducing the manual effort needed to write and maintain tests, while improving code quality. Catching bugs early not only saves time but also minimizes costly fixes later in the process, enhancing overall efficiency 🙏

    @valianto Thanks for sharing! That's a lot of time and testing. Have you tried any methods to automate it?

    It takes me different times to write unit tests, depending on the complexity of the code and project requirements. On average, it can take from a few hours to a few days. If the code is complex or requires thorough testing, it may take me longer to ensure that it is robust and covers all possible cases. On the other hand, for simple features or small changes, the process can be much faster.
