AgitarLabs' Mission

AgitarLabs serves as the focal point for internal research and advanced development for Agitar Software. A key component of the AgitarLabs’ mission is involvement with academic researchers and the open source community through sponsorship and research collaboration.

Alberto Savoia, Agitar’s co-founder and CTO, formed AgitarLabs because he believes that there are huge opportunities in software testing and test automation, as well as formidable technical and cultural challenges to overcome - and active collaboration between industry, academia, and open source is the most effective way to capitalize on the opportunities, while tackling the challenges.

AgitarLabs’ Community Initiatives

 Research Community

Agitar Software has deep roots in industrial and academic research - Agitar’s core technology, software agitation, was inspired by Dr. Michael Ernst’s innovative research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and draws on Alberto Savoia's and Roongko Doong’s years of experience in test automation research at Sun Microsystems Laboratories. AgitarLabs gives back to the community that made Agitar possible through the AgitarLabs Research Fellowship program. The fellowship provides financial sponsorship and other forms of support to researchers and open source contributors working on software testing technology.

Open Source Community

Agitar helps foster the adoption and spread of best practices in software development and developer testing by sponsoring open source projects in the area of software testing and test automation.

JUnit Factory

JUnit Factory is a free, web-based test generation service. You submit Java code, and JUnit Factory sends back automatically generated JUnit tests.

Crap4j

Crap4j is an open-source experimental tool that uses cyclomatic complexity and code coverage from automated tests to help estimate the effort and risk associated with maintaining legacy code.
