❗
Recommended: GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code for Maximum Power
For the best test generation experience, we recommend GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code because it uniquely combines:
- CoreStory's architectural analysis: Understand specs, patterns, and business rules
- Direct source code access: Read actual implementation details via VS Code workspace
- Integrated test execution: Run tests immediately after generation with VS Code testing tools
- Cross-reference capability: Compare CoreStory's knowledge with actual code for richer tests
- Agent mode: Autonomous test generation with automatic framework setup and test execution
</aside>
This playbook supports GitHub Copilot across VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and GitHub.com, but VS Code with Agent mode unlocks its full potential by giving Copilot both architectural understanding AND implementation details.
