Antithesis here - curious what part of the Getting Started doc gave you that impression? If you take a look at our How Antithesis Works page, it might help answer you question as to how Antithesis is different from just bundling your unit tests.
In short though, unit tests can help to inform a workload, but we don't require them. We autonomously explore software system execution paths by introducing different inputs, faults, etc., which discovers behaviors that may have been unforeseen by anyone writing unit tests.
Thanks for the response. The linked introduction does help. The workload page does give me that impression (and based on upvotes of my post it does to others as well)...so perhaps disambiguating that the void test*() examples on the workloads page are not unit tests might help!
Congrats on the launch and I'll consider using it for some of my projects.
