Pex - Automated Exploratory Testing for .NET

Microsoft Research are working on a tool called Pex, which is essentially unit test generation helper tool.

Pex generates Unit Tests from hand-written Parameterized Unit Tests through Automated Exploratory Testing based on Dynamic Symbolic Execution.

•   Unit Tests: parameterless methods that test a single unit of code

•   Parameterized Unit Tests: same as above, but with parameters

•   Automated Exploratory Testing: A tool-supported process of running, learning and testing code at the same time

•   Dynamic Symbolic Execution: A combination of static analysis and runtime monitoring to compute test inputs

In addition you can watch the video about it from Channel9.
