Qodo Reviews & Product Details

in my experiance Qodo excels in two aspects:

1) Writing unit tests. this is an activity that used to take a significant amount of time in the past (at times more then the code writing it self) qodo genereates great unit tests in seconds , sometimes with edge cases i did not consider , finding bugs before the end-user does.

2) being a virtual teammate whom i can "bug" as much as I want. I can ask it why my code is not working, how to imporve it , get most of the value of a code-review before I commit the code and just ask the "stupid questions" without looking like a fool , getting the answer that already fits my code.

Not a big issue , but chat history is not saved if i open and close my intellij. there is a message that this is comming soon so it might be solved by the time you are reading this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using QoDo (AKA Codium) as an addon to VSCode.

- It automatically creates unit tests for functions and classes.

- It supports most popular programming languages

- You can choose from multiple test versions it offers or tell it to create more

- But it can provide way more beside unit tests. It has chat bot, whom you can ask any question or give instructios about your code. So it can find mistakes, or provide advises

- You can define scope for the bot: either selected part or current tab or the whole project context

- And if you switch to pre-release version - it has code auto-completion feature similar to Copilot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only one feature is missing - Visual Studio support. Some devs in my team using VS, others - VSC. And in VS Qodo is not availabel yet unformtunately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Qodo is an absolute joy to use as a Visual Studio extension for programming! Its AI-driven features make my life so much easier by generating helpful code snippets, debugging suggestions, and real-time insights that make coding faster and more efficient. I love how intuitive and responsive the application is, it fits seamlessly into my development environment without disrupting my workflow. It saves me so much time, especially when tackling complex coding challenges, as it immediately provides relevant solutions and explanations.

I use Qodo almost daily as an essential part of my coding routine. Its reliability and consistent value keep it indispensable in my IDE.

Setting up Qodo was incredibly straightforward. It integrated seamlessly with Visual Studio Code, and I was able to start using its features right away without any complicated configurations. This ease of implementation made the transition to using Qodo smooth and hassle-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Qodo is generally impressive, there are occasional instances where its suggestions miss the mark for very niche coding issues. However, these moments are rare, and overall, Qodo’s performance and utility far outweigh any minor setbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's free, has the ability to take images with no limit, has some really good quality of life features such as highlighting the entirety of the lines/text that you want or just specific functions as well as a bunch of useful /commands that are good for the average user, can be used by both newbies and professionals, have used it in almost every project that I needed any help with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not that great with web development in general, but yet again there is no chatbot in the market that is particualry good in that aspect at the moment anyways Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Qodo Gen + VS Code to audit, build, refactor, optimize, and review code of all sorts, ranging from SEO-specific HTML to Django and Next.js architectures to custom Python scripts. The most powerful feature I use the most is adding context - this is what most UI chatbots are missing to be truly helpful: the full picture!

Qodo does an amazing job of catching errors and inefficiencies I missed, as well as teaching me about concepts through the code I'm working on. With the right attitude, this tool can be a full blown education system! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Qodo can miss the mark on conciseness and relevance, but intentional prompt engineering and learning these patterns helps alleviate this a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I started using QodoGen for generating tests for my code. At first it was cloggy and I had to manually fix the tests.

Now I can't do without it.

I set the context to my current branch or even uncommitted changes, and ask it in the chat to give me a code review.

This allows me to look better when I submit my code as a PR and save my coworkers and my company time by having more polished commits! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features are not intuitive and it has a bit of a learning curve. Nothing that a tutorial can't solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Qodo intelligently understands the context of my code and has project-specific nuances, that can make a huge difference. It helps by reducing the time spent figuring out syntax or recalling function names, improving both speed and code quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Qodo can sometimes struggle with more complex or niche coding tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity. It is first. The second is - ability to select unit test generation level, test it on fly and get help to fix issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface can be better. I do not know how to improve it but I think you need to create some kind of desission tree from where I can pick direction and tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had been using Copilot for several months but never was satisfied with its results. If I asked it a question, we had to iterate over and over to get to the answer I needed. It's LLM was (and still is) behind the times so when it did give an answer that was close, it still relied on old data such as API names, package names, etc.

Having grown dissatisfied with Copilot, I started to watch some YouTube videos on AI code pairing tools and one video that caught my attention rated 10 AI tools and it ranked CodiumAI as number one. I decided to give it a try and was instantly blown away. Does it require iterating over a question to get to the right answer? Yes, but I expect that out of any AI tool. The difference was it required far fewer go-rounds to get to the answer I was seeking. I immediately cancelled my Copilot subscription and subscribed to CodiumAI. I was instantly far more productive than I have ever been. It is truly my coding buddy. I use it all the time!

Their support staff does a marvelous job as well. They even reached out to me via a video call to get to the bottom of some of the issues I raised. You just don't see that often enough nowadays (Thank you so much, Almog!!)

Hands down the best AI pairing tool out there and worth every penny it costs me. I highly recommend it!

Get it! Use it! Love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much to dislike. It's a young product so you would expect some rough patches. The chat window has a glitch, but its by no means a deal breaker. That's about all I could complain about! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Qodo is great for many things, from generating larger chunks of code to unit testing, however my favorite use is using the Git Diff context to write great commit messages, finding issues in current changeset, suggesting improvements, and writing a recap of the changeset that is easily pasted into a PR message. It makes it so much easier for collaborators to easily understand changes in the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I get errors that indicate it cannot talk to the server Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
