Re: [Cobertura-devel] Can I deploy cobertura on a installed-by-rpm java project

[Steve C. <sch...@gm...>]

For cobertura, when you instrument code, you are instrumenting the
byte code, this is the compiled source code, so the .class files. You
are able to instrument without the source code, although it will not
provide you with much information, because you would need to get the
source code somehow to view the results from the code coverage.

To cover your Scenario, yes it is possible to do everything you
mentioned. First instrument the .class files and package it all up.
Then hand the packaged items to your live server(or deployment
server). Once you believe you've gathered enough data, a cobertura.ser
file will be created when the jvm shuts down. This is the most
important file as it contains all the coverage results. Grab this file
and bring back to your development environment and run the
cobertura-report target with the source code and you should see code
coverage.
