Code coverage tools are software programs that measure the extent to which a software application’s source code is tested by a test suite. These tools analyze the source code of an application and determine which lines of code are executed during testing and which lines are not.
Here are some popular code coverage tools:
- JaCoCo: This is a Java Code Coverage tool that can generate coverage reports in several formats, including HTML, XML, and CSV.
- Istanbul: This is a JavaScript code coverage tool that can generate coverage reports in several formats, including HTML, JSON, and LCOV.
- Coverlet: This is a .NET code coverage tool that can generate coverage reports in several formats, including HTML, JSON, and XML.
- Cobertura: This is a Java code coverage tool that can generate coverage reports in several formats, including HTML, XML, and CSV.
- Emma: This is a Java code coverage tool that can generate coverage reports in HTML, XML, and CSV formats.
These tools help developers identify areas of an application’s code that have not been tested, allowing them to improve the overall quality of the software by identifying and fixing bugs before they become major problems.
