[Cobertura-devel] Branch coverage for assertions

[Daniel D. <bri...@gm...>]

At present, assertions count as two branches in the coverage report.   
Assertions aren't meant to fail if the code is correct, so it's pretty  
much impossible to get coverage for both branches.  I would like to make a  
change so that assertions are considered covered if they are executed  
without raising an AssertionError.

I raised an issue about this a while ago:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1762599&group_id=130558&atid=720015

I also noticed that somebody else had a similar suggestion:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1959691&group_id=130558&atid=720018

If I make a patch for this, will it be accepted, or is there a reason why  
assertions should continue to be treated just like if statements?

Thanks,

Dan.
