# 2024-09-02

This release introduces Descriptive Test Naming (beta), a new feature that enables Diffblue Cover to write tests with Given-When-Then-style names.

For details on how to enable Descriptive Test Naming (beta), please refer to the [IntelliJ Plugin documentation](https://docs.diffblue.com/features/cover-plugin/cover-plugin-settings/test-naming) or the [Cover CLI documentation](https://docs.diffblue.com/features/cover-cli/commands-and-arguments).

## Enhancements

* Cover now attempts to write tests using the `yyyymmdd` DateTime format. \[Ref: TG-22011]
* Cover now offers the ability to write tests with Given-When-Then-style names via Descriptive Test Naming (beta). Descriptive Test Naming (beta) can be enabled in the Diffblue IntelliJ Plugin Settings or by passing `--descriptive-test-names` to Cover CLI. \[Ref: TG-21872]
* Cover now supports full customization of build system commands. This allows Cover to write tests for projects with more complex build structures or requirements. Cover can be configured via a `DiffblueBuild.yaml` file. \[Ref: TG-21551]

## Resolved Issues

* Plugin: Resolved an issue which, in some circumstances, caused test writing to be delayed during the preparation phase. \[Ref: TG-21903]
* Cover + Reports: Resolved an issue which, in some circumstances with mismatched versions, caused large quantities of log messages to appear in log files. \[Ref: TG-21752]

## Known Issues

* Plugin: Cover incorrectly provides a menu option to write tests for a test file. \[Ref: TG-17163]
* Cover supports Open JDK and Oracle JDK; results with other JDKs may differ due to the variability in their implementations of Java. \[Ref: TG-19345]
* Cover may encounter an `F009: Internal error` while writing tests using Mockito 5. To avoid this issue use an earlier version of Mockito. \[Ref: TG-19610]
