BitDive.io features
- Runtime Capture. Records real Java execution traces including HTTP, SQL, Kafka, gRPC, method args and results.
- Automatic Mocking. Generates mocks for JDBC, HTTP, Kafka, gRPC from observed behavior.
- JUnit Replay Suites. Creates standard JUnit tests that run via mvn test with virtualized boundaries.
- Behavioral Diffs. Compares before/after traces to highlight functional, performance and query changes.
- Dashboards & Heatmaps. Provides service maps and heatmaps to spot hot paths and regressions.
- Low-overhead Tracing. 5-minute agent setup with 0.5-5% CPU overhead and binary compression.
- Secure Data Handling. PII auto-masking, zero-trust encryption, local-first privacy, optional private/air-gapped deployment.
GitHub Actions features
- Hosted runners. Run jobs on Linux, macOS, Windows, ARM, GPU, or containers using GitHub-provided VMs.
- Matrix builds. Execute the same workflow across multiple OSes and runtime versions in parallel.
- Secret store. Store encrypted secrets at repository, environment, or organization level.
- Multi-container testing. Add docker-compose to workflows to test services together.
