Summary: Cobertura percentage not detailed enough

Initial Comment:
The qalab cobertura statistics are calculated on a
0-100 basis, thus there are only 100 possible
intermediate points. For a large project this doesn't
provide enough detail (our junit coverage only
increases slowly over time).

This RFE is to change the cobertura statistics
gathering to record statistics to one or two decimal
places, for example 28.2% rather than 28%. The
underlying cobertura xml file contains the information
so that shouldn't be an issue.

Hi Steve,

We just had a look at this and, unfortunately, the code is using 'int' all
over the place (including chart generation etc).
As we mentioned before, QALab is not reporting 'exact' data but trends;
the amount of changes vs. gain in precision does not warrant it at this
stage, sorry.

Unless a volunteer shows up, I shall close the issue to avoid false hope.

Benoit

Steve,
Sorry for the delay in replying, we did not have any email
alert on Feature Request (until today). It is too late for
our 1.0 release but we will check this out, QALab is
designed to show a trend, it is not showing 'exact' data
(like the types of bugs over time etc...)

But we will check this.

Benoit
