Frequently Asked Questions

Early detects regressions, protects business flows,and gives engineering teams confidence in every release, from pull requests to full repositories.

What is Early?

Early fits into your workflow through a set of Regression Guard products that help teams detect breaking changes, protect critical business flows, and understand regression risk across every code change. From local development to pull requests to repository-wide protection, Early helps teams see what is at risk, what is already protected, and where gaps remain, with clear visibility across the organization. You can start with the CLI or VS Code extension, or use it alongside Claude Code or other code generation terminals for regression code review with a virtual infinite context window on your repository.

How does it work?

Once your project is onboarded simply start generating unit tests by clicking the generate test option next to the chosen function or class. You can generate tests in 1 of three methods on public method/functions:

The play button in Early's VSCode extension UI,
Code lens above the method name on the code editor,
Via right-click on the method name on the code editor.

Coverage will be available on EarlyAI's UI once refreshed automatically and continuously grows as you add tests.

Check out our getting-started guide or our blogs to find out more usage cases at your PR level or at scale.

What Technologies do you support?

Early supports TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, .NET, Rust, C, C++, and C#. Supported test frameworks include Jest, Mocha, Vitest, Pytest, JUnit. Early is available as a CLI, a VS Codee xtension, Claude Code plugins, and through CI integrations.

How do I get started with Early?

Add the Early extension via VSCode Marketplace. Register and authenticate via your email address, onboard your projects, and start generating unit tests by simply clicking on Early. Code is aggregated from your IDE and can automatically generate 30 unit tests in less than a minute. Early shows you the depth of coverage and the quality of your code. As an experimental feature, Early also generates failing tests for you to review, sometimes it’s very simple to convert them to working green tests.

Try our getting-started guide and generate your first unit tests in few minutes.
