NCover

NCover Desktop is a Windows application that helps you collect code coverage statistics for .NET applications and services. After coverage is collected, Desktop displays charts and coverage metrics in a browser-based GUI that allows you to drill all the way down to your individual lines of source code. Desktop also allows you the option to install a Visual Studio extension called Bolt. Bolt offers built-in code coverage that displays unit test results, timings, branch visualization and source code highlighting right in the Visual Studio IDE. NCover Desktop is a major leap forward in the ease and flexibility of code coverage tools. Code coverage, gathered while testing your .NET code, shows the NCover user what code was exercised during the test and gives a specific measurement of unit test coverage. By tracking these statistics over time, you gain a concrete measurement of code quality during the development cycle.

dotPeek

JetBrains

As soon as you've decompiled an assembly, you can save it as a Visual Studio project (.csproj). This can potentially save a lot of time if you need to restore lost source code from a legacy assembly. dotPeek can identify local source code based on PDB files, or fetch source code from source servers such as Microsoft Reference Source Center or SymbolSource. dotPeek can also perform as a symbol server and supply Visual Studio debugger with the information required to debug assembly code. dotPeek inherits a lot of features from ReSharper. These include contextual and context-insensitive navigation, usage search, as well as different code structure and hierarchy views. Use Find Usages to search for all usages of a symbol, be it a method, property, local variable or a different entity. The Find Results tool window lets you group usages, navigate between them, and open them in the code view area.

JaCoCo

EclEmma

JaCoCo is a free code coverage library for Java, which has been created by the EclEmma team based on the lessons learned from using and integrating existing libraries for many years. The master branch of JaCoCo is automatically built and published. Due to the test-driven development approach, every build is considered fully functional. See the change history for the latest features and bug fixes. SonarQube code quality metrics of the current JaCoCo implementation are available on SonarCloud.io. Integrate JaCoCo technology with your tools. Use JaCoCo tools out of the box. Improve the implementation and add new features. There are several open-source coverage technologies for Java available. While implementing the Eclipse plug-in EclEmma the observation was that none of them are really designed for integration. Most of them are specifically fit to a particular tool (Ant tasks, command line, IDE plug-in) and do not offer a documented API that allows embedding in different contexts.

OpenClover

Balance your effort spent on writing applications and test code. Use the most sophisticated code coverage tool for Java and Groovy. OpenClover measures code coverage for Java and Groovy and collects over 20 code metrics. It not only shows you untested areas of your application but also combines coverage and metrics to find the riskiest code. The Test Optimization feature tracks which test cases are related to each class of your application code. Thanks to this OpenClover can run tests relevant to changes made in your application code, significantly reducing test execution time. Do testing getters and setters bring much value? Or machine-generated code? OpenClover outruns other tools in its flexibility to define the scope of coverage measurement. You can exclude packages, files, classes, methods, and even single statements. You can focus on testing important parts of your code. OpenClover not only records test results but also measures individual code coverage for every test.

JCov

OpenJDK

The JCov open-source project is used to gather quality metrics associated with the production of test suites. JCov is being opened in order to facilitate the practice of verifying test execution of regression tests in OpenJDK development. The main motivation behind JCov is the transparency of test coverage metrics. The advantage to promoting standard coverage based on JCov is that OpenJDK developers will be able to use a code coverage tool that stays in the 'lock step' with Java language and VM developments. JCov is a pure java implementation of a code coverage tool that provides a means to measure and analyze dynamic code coverage of Java programs. JCov provides functionality to collect method, linear block, and branch coverage, as well as show uncovered execution paths. It is also able to show a program's source code annotated with coverage information. From a testing perspective, JCov is most useful to determine execution paths.

Istanbul

JavaScript test coverage made simple. Istanbul instruments your ES5 and ES2015+ JavaScript code with line counters, so that you can track how well your unit-tests exercise your codebase. The nyc command-line-client for Istanbul works well with most JavaScript testing frameworks, tap, mocha, AVA, etc. First-class support of ES6/ES2015+ using babel-plugin-Istanbul. Support for the most popular JavaScript testing frameworks. Support for instrumenting subprocesses, using the nyc command-line interface. Adding coverage to your mocha tests could not be easier. Now, simply place the command nyc in front of your existing test command. nyc's instrument command can be used to instrument source files outside of the context of your unit tests. nyc is able to show you all Node processes that are spawned when running a test script under it. By default, nyc uses Istanbul's text reporter. However, you may specify an alternative reporter.

blanket.js

Blanket.js

A seamless JavaScript code coverage library. Blanket.js is a code coverage tool for JavaScript that aims to be easy to install, easy to use, and easy to understand. Blanket.js can be run seamlessly or can be customized for your needs. JavaScript code coverage compliments your existing JavaScript tests by adding code coverage statistics (which lines of your source code are covered by your tests). Parsing the code using Esprima and node-falafel, and instrumenting the file by adding code tracking lines. Connecting to hooks in the test runner to output the coverage details after the tests have been completed. A Grunt plugin has been created to allow you to use Blanket like a "traditional" code coverage tool (creating instrumented copies of physical files, as opposed to live-instrumenting). Runs the QUnit-based Blanket report headlessly using PhantomJS. Results are displayed on the console, and the task will cause Grunt to fail if any of your configured coverage thresholds are not met.

SimpleCov

SimpleCov is a code coverage analysis tool for Ruby. It uses Ruby's built-in Coverage library to gather code coverage data, but makes processing its results much easier by providing a clean API to filter, group, merge, format, and display those results, giving you a complete code coverage suite that can be set up with just a couple lines of code. SimpleCov/Coverage track covered ruby code, gathering coverage for common templating solutions like erb, slim, and haml is not supported. In most cases, you'll want overall coverage results for your projects, including all types of tests, Cucumber features, etc. SimpleCov automatically takes care of this by caching and merging results when generating reports, so your report actually includes coverage across your test suites and thereby gives you a better picture of blank spots. SimpleCov must be running in the process that you want the code coverage analysis to happen on.

DeepCover

Deep Cover aims to be the best coverage tool for Ruby code. More accurate line coverage, and branch coverage. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for the built-in Coverage library. It reports a more accurate picture of your code usage. In particular, a line is considered covered if and only if it is entirely executed. Optionally, branch coverage will detect if some branches are never taken. MRI considers every method defined, including methods defined on objects or via define_method, class_eval, etc. For Istanbul output, DeepCover has a different approach and covers all def and all blocks. DeepCover doesn't consider loops to be branches, but it's easy to support them if needed. Even after DeepCover is required and configured, only a very minimal amount of code is actually loaded and coverage is not started. To make it easier to transition for projects already using the builtin Coverage library deep-cover can inject itself into those tools.

pytest-cov

Python

This plugin produces coverage reports. Compared to just using coverage run this plugin does some extras. Subprocess support, so you can fork or run stuff in a subprocess and will get covered without any fuss. Xdist support, so you can use all of pytest-xdist’s features and still get coverage. Consistent pytest behavior. All features offered by the coverage package should work, either through pytest-cov’s command line options or through coverage’s config file. Under certain scenarios, a stray .pth file may be left around in site packages. The data file is erased at the beginning of testing to ensure clean data for each test run. If you need to combine the coverage of several test runs you can use the --cov-append option to append this coverage data to coverage data from previous test runs. The data file is left at the end of testing so that it is possible to use normal coverage tools to examine it.

XCTest

Apple

Create and run unit tests, performance tests, and UI tests for your Xcode project. Use the XCTest framework to write unit tests for your Xcode projects that integrate seamlessly with Xcode's testing workflow. Tests assert that certain conditions are satisfied during code execution, and record test failures (with optional messages) if those conditions aren’t satisfied. Tests can also measure the performance of blocks of code to check for performance regressions and can interact with an application's UI to validate user interaction flows. A test method is a small, self-contained method that tests a specific part of your code. A test case is a group of related test methods. Add test cases and test methods to a test target to confirm that your code performs as expected. The primary class for defining test cases, test methods, and performance tests. An abstract base class for creating, managing, and executing tests.

HUnit

Hackage

HUnit is a unit testing framework for Haskell, inspired by the JUnit tool for Java. It's easy to use HUnit, assuming you are familiar with Haskell, though not necessarily with JUnit. A test-centered methodology for software development is most effective when tests are easy to create, change, and execute. The JUnit tool pioneered support for test-first development in Java. HUnit is an adaptation of JUnit to Haskell, a general-purpose, purely functional programming language. With HUnit, as with JUnit, you can easily create tests, name them, group them into suites, and execute them, with the framework checking the results automatically. Test specification in HUnit is even more concise and flexible than in JUnit, thanks to the nature of the Haskell language. HUnit currently includes only a text-based test controller, but the framework is designed for easy extension. Run the tests as a group.

PCOV

A self-contained CodeCoverage compatible driver for PHP. When PCOV is left unset, PCOV will attempt to find src, lib or, app in the current working directory, in that order; If none are found the current directory will be used, which may waste resources storing coverage information for the test suite. If PCOV contains test code, it's recommended to set the exclude command to avoid wasting resources. To avoid unnecessary allocation of additional arenas for traces and control flow graphs, PCOV should be set according to the memory required by the test suite. To avoid reallocation of tables, PCOV should be set to a number higher than the number of files that will be loaded during testing, inclusive of test files. interoperability with Xdebug is not possible. At an internal level, the executor function is overridden by PCOV, so any extension or SAPI which does the same will be broken. PCOV is zero cost, code runs at full speed.
