Sonar Code Coverage Analysis Doesn't Add Up

Maybe this is due to my own misunderstanding of what in Sonar is being analyzed, but at the Component level Sonar is reporting a much higher percentage of code coverage than what appears to be possible given the results at the package level. May I point your attention to the attached screenshot... See: https://i.sstatic.net/yCnms.png Any ideas?

The screenshot only shows code coverage for packages 

com.gfs.transportation.transprointegration.filewatcher
com.gfs.transportation.transprointegration.filewatcher.impl

If the Code coverage for the below components are 100%

com.gfs.transportation.transprointegration
com.gfs.transportation
com.gfs
com

Then total coverage will be (87.9 + 89.2 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 100) /600 which equals 96.183%

I am thinking if a package has no classes under it then the coverage of the package is 100%

It all depends on the size of the classes and how they contribute to the coverage of the module as a whole

  • If Class A had 10 lines of code at 90% coverage then that is 9 lines covered
  • If Class B had 1000 lines of code at 60% coverage then that is 600 lines covered

The coverage overall is 60.3% (609/1010)

But if

  • If Class A had 10 lines of code at 60% coverage then that is 6 lines covered
  • If Class B had 1000 lines of code at 90% coverage then that is 900 lines covered

Now the coverage overall is 89.7% (906/1010)

Then you have to take into account of whether the coverage for filewatcher also includes the coverage metrics of filewatcher.impl - which I suspect it might do.

Finally you haven't mentioned if the number you are displaying is branch/line or a combination of both which the link provided in the comment implies is possible, if the latter then the combinations involved start to make my head hurt.
