JQF VS copilot.vim

We are working on projects related with cybersecurity and compilers. A reference we look at is [1] and [2]. I think we can publish the results in the coming months.

QuickcCheck-type tools (generators for tests that know about the edge cases of a domain - e. g. for the domain of numbers considering things like 0, the infinities, various almost-and-just-over powers of two, NaN and mantissas for floats, etc.):

* QuickCheck: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/QuickCheck

* Hypothesis: https://hypothesis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

* JUnit QuickCheck: https://github.com/pholser/junit-quickcheck

Fuzz testing tools (tools which mutate the inputs to a program in order to find interesting / failing states in that program). Generally paired with code coverage:

* American Fuzzy Lop (AFL): https://github.com/google/AFL

* JQF: https://github.com/rohanpadhye/JQF

Mutation / Fault based test tools (review your existing unit coverage and try to introduce changes to your _production_ code that none of your tests catch)

* PITest: https://pitest.org/

If you are interested in fuzzing your Java code, you should also have a look at the JQF project which directly integrates with junit tests: https://github.com/rohanpadhye/JQF

I use copilot in neovim[1]. It was remarkably simple to get installed. Highly recommend

[1]: https://github.com/github/copilot.vim

I use Plug 'tpope/vim-markdown' and markdown fenced codeblocks fairly extensively, and recently installed Copilot.vim.

Anyways. Yes, neovim has AI integration like copilot ( https://github.com/github/copilot.vim ) and chatgpt ( https://github.com/jackMort/ChatGPT.nvim )

I do think VSCode is a great tool and I recommend it frequently to people, but I still want to set the record straight here. Yes, vim is obviously limited in the sense that as a CLI app it doesn't draw it's own PDF or HTML windows, that's fair. But it can remote control your favorite PDF viewer or browser for roughly the same functionality. I'm currently writing my thesis using vimtex and it's quite smooth. And all the other stuff you mention is implemented quite competently by various plugins like vim-fugitive, coc.nvim, vimspector and copilot.vim.
