About 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.

dotCover
dotCover is a .NET unit testing and code coverage tool that works right in Visual Studio and in JetBrains Rider, helps you know to what extent your code is covered with unit tests, provides great ways to visualize code coverage, and is Continuous Integration ready. dotCover calculates and reports statement-level code coverage in applications targeting .NET Framework, .NET Core, Mono for Unity, etc. dotCover is a plug-in to Visual Studio and JetBrains Rider, giving you the advantage of analyzing and visualizing code coverage without leaving the code editor. This includes running unit tests and analyzing coverage results right in the IDEs, as well as support for different color themes, new icons and menus. dotCover comes bundled with a unit test runner that it shares with another JetBrains tool for .NET developers, ReSharper. dotCover supports continuous testing, a modern unit testing workflow whereby dotCover figures out on-the-fly which unit tests are affected by your code changes.

OpenCppCoverage
OpenCppCoverage is an open-source code coverage tool for C++ under Windows. The main usage is for unit testing coverage, but you can also use it to know the executed lines in a program for debugging purposes. Support compiler with a program database file (.pdb). Just run your program with OpenCppCoverage, no need to recompile your application. Exclude a line based on a regular expression. Coverage aggregation, to run several code coverages and merge them into a single report. Requires Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 or higher for all editions including the Express edition. It should also work with the previous version of Visual Studio. You can run the tests with the Test Explorer window.

Coverlet
It works with .NET Framework on Windows and .NET Core on all supported platforms. Coverlet supports coverage for deterministic builds. The solution at the moment is not optimal and need a workaround. If you want to visualize coverlet output inside Visual Studio while you code, you can use the following addins depending on your platform. Coverlet also integrates with the build system to run code coverage after tests. Enabling code coverage is as simple as setting the CollectCoverage property to true. The coverlet tool is invoked by specifying the path to the assembly that contains the unit tests. You also need to specify the test runner and the arguments to pass to the test runner using the --target and --targetargs options respectively. The invocation of the test runner with the supplied arguments must not involve a recompilation of the unit test assembly or no coverage result will be generated.

Devel::Cover
This module provides code coverage metrics for Perl. Code coverage metrics describe how thoroughly tests exercise code. By using Devel::Cover you can discover areas of code not exercised by your tests and determine which tests to create to increase coverage. Code coverage can be considered an indirect measure of quality. Devel::Cover is now quite stable and provides many of the features to be expected in a useful coverage tool. Statement, branch, condition, subroutine, and pod coverage information is reported. Statement and subroutine coverage data should be accurate. Branch and condition coverage data should be mostly accurate too, although not always what one might initially expect. Pod coverage comes from Pod::Coverage. If Pod::Coverage::CountParents is available it will be used instead.
