coverage java tool

Question

I'm wrintting java tests to control the GUI application, and I'm searching a tool to cover the java test , what is your recommandation ? which tool is usually used to cover java tests ?

Answer 1

I strongly recommend taking a look at Code Pro tools. It's for Eclipse. And it contains a lot more than code coverage, it is code analyzer, junit test generator, dependency analyzer and so on...

Answer 2

You can try to use Cobertura, it creates nice reports, and is easy to use in conjunction with junit, using ant or maven.

A great tool for reporting is Sonar, which integrates coverage tests, but also tools like checkstyle, findbugs, and provides a nice interface to analyse the outputs. It is also very easy to setup, definitively worth trying.

Answer 3

I recommend Sonar, see the hyperlink for how it shows code coverage (apart from doing many other handy things).

Answer 4

I recommend Cobertura for measuring test coverage. You can plug it into ant, maven, hudson, eclipse etc.
