About pytest-cov
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.

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.

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.

Coverage.py
Coverage.py is a tool for measuring code coverage of Python programs. It monitors your program, noting which parts of the code have been executed, then analyzes the source to identify code that could have been executed but was not. Coverage measurement is typically used to gauge the effectiveness of tests. It can show which parts of your code are being exercised by tests, and which are not. Use coverage run to run your test suite and gather data. However you normally run your test suite, and you can run your test runner under coverage. If your test runner command starts with “python”, just replace the initial “python” with “coverage run”. To limit coverage measurement to code in the current directory, and also find files that weren’t executed at all, add the source argument to your coverage command line. By default, it will measure line (statement) coverage. It can also measure branch coverage. It can tell you what tests ran which lines.

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.
