Tensor

Tensor is a reliable and efficient software program designed to estimate the cost of change on test source code based on a significant change in production source code, primarily around branch execution code. This remarkable tool is written in the dynamic and reflective programming language Ruby and works seamlessly with the JRuby interpreter, making it compatible with both Windows and Linux/Unix platforms.

To use Tensor efficiently, follow the simple step-by-step guide provided below:

1. Change into the 'tensor' directory from the commandline.
2. Run Tensor by depending on the interpreter, as follows:
2.1 If the interpreter is JRuby, execute the command: jruby init.rb.
2.2 If the interpreter is C-Ruby, execute the command: ruby init.rb, and follow the instructions.
3. Once the run is completed, Tensor generates a comprehensive html report named 'tensorreport.html' and a detailed log output file called 'tensor_output.' The log file provides an in-depth insight into the consequences of each mutation on every file containing a branch execution condition. It also spotlights any errors, as well as failed and successful tests. The html report summarizes the log file into a more legible format.

To witness the potential outcome of your sources, kindly examine the 'sample_reports' directory.

In this latest release, Tensor has added support for both Java sources and Apache Maven2 as a build tool, making it even more user-friendly and comprehensive.
Overall, Tensor is an ideal tool for developers and software enthusiasts looking to estimate the cost of change on test source code efficiently. It is a must-have software program for any software development team looking to streamline their processes and work more efficiently.
