[Cobertura-devel] Use of cobertura in CI

[Gordon H. <gor...@ya...>]

Hi,

I am using cobertura for the first time. I'm trying to understand the right way to use it with Jenkins CI.

We
 are writing a webapp. We have unit tests. Jenkins is setup to perform 
maven builds triggered by svn commits. The last step of a successful 
build is to deploy the generated war to a Tomcat instance for QA/demo 
purposes.

I have Jenkins and the pom setup to run tests with cobertura. Jenkins shows lovely cobertura graphs :)

My
 concern is that we should NOT be deploying the instrumented war to 
Tomcat. I do not need to track code coverage in the deployed 
environment. Tomcat should be running the app as may be released to 
production (ie. non-instrumented). But AFAIK there's only the one war 
being generated by the build.

What's the right thing to do here? Am I mistaken about what the build generates?
 Is the solution to have separate projects running in Jenkins, one for cobertura and one for deploying to Tomcat? What do other people do?
