About grcov
grcov collects and aggregates code coverage information for multiple source files. grcov processes .profraw and .gcda files which can be generated from llvm/clang or gcc. grcov also processes lcov files (for JS coverage) and JaCoCo files (for Java coverage). Linux, macOS and Windows are supported.

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.

Tarpaulin
Tarpaulin is a code coverage reporting tool for the cargo build system, named for a waterproof cloth used to cover cargo on a ship. Currently, tarpaulin provides working line coverage and while fairly reliable may still contain minor inaccuracies in the results. A lot of work has been done to get it working on a wide range of projects, but often unique combinations of packages and build features can cause issues so please report anything you find that's wrong. Also, check out our roadmap for planned features. On Linux Tarpaulin's default tracing backend is still Ptrace and will only work on x86 and x64 processors. This can be changed to the llvm coverage instrumentation with engine llvm, for Mac and Windows this is the default collection method. It can also be run in Docker, which is useful for when you don't use Linux but want to run it locally.

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.

Atheris
Atheris is a coverage-guided Python fuzzing engine. It supports fuzzing of Python code, but also native extensions written for CPython. Atheris is based on libFuzzer. When fuzzing native code, Atheris can be used to catch extra bugs. Atheris supports Linux (32- and 64-bit) and Mac OS X, with Python versions 3.6-3.10. It comes with a built-in libFuzzer, which is fine for fuzzing Python code. If you plan to fuzz native extensions, you may need to build from source to ensure the libFuzzer version in Atheris matches your Clang version. Atheris relies on libFuzzer, which is distributed with Clang. Apple Clang doesn't come with libFuzzer, so you'll need to install a new version of LLVM. Atheris is based on a coverage-guided mutation-based fuzzer (LibFuzzer). This has the advantage of not requiring any grammar definition for generating inputs, making its setup easier. The disadvantage is that it will be harder for the fuzzer to generate inputs for code that parses complex data types.
