dotCover

What’s new in dotCover V1.2?

• Added support for latest ReSharper versions, enabling easy unit test coverage analysis

What’s new in dotCover V1.1.1?

• Integration with ReSharper 6 - dotCover integrates with the latest version of ReSharper 6, allowing a smooth user experience. ReSharper 5.x continues to be supported also.
• Per-snapshot Settings - Snapshot settings, including node exclusion and inclusion are now saved in a file alongside the snapshot (*.settings).
• Improved presentation of class members - When you browse coverage results with dotCover 1.1.1, you can clearly see properties with getters and setters, as well as events with add and remove accessors. Anonymous delegates and lambdas are represented by nodes within containing methods denoting types that they receive and return.
• HTML and JSON reports - In addition to XML export available previously, dotCover 1.1.1 allows you to generate reports as HTML and JSON both from the console runner and from Visual Studio coverage UI.
• Integration with NDepend - dotCover 1.1.1 provides support for NDepend in the form of exporting coverage reports to XML for NDepend.
• Predefined color schemes - Some like it dark, some like it bright, so why not provide several color highlighting schemes by default? That said, you can still fine-tune coverage highlighting colors by tweaking dotCover display items via Tools | Options | Environment | Fonts and Colors.
• Support for Dynamic NUnit Tests - Full support for dynamic NUnit Test cases as well as Combinatorial, Sequential and other common NUnit attributes.
• Filtering coverage tree on-the-fly - You can now exclude a specific node, or all nodes except this node, from the coverage tree and have dotCover instantly recalculate percentages of covered and uncovered code.
• Getting coverage analysis data from TeamCity - You can now use TeamCity Visual Studio plug-in to connect to a TeamCity server and obtain data from a Continuous Integration coverage analysis run.
• Incremental update of coverage info when tests are partially rerun - Coverage information is calculated incrementally without requiring full profiling on new runs, making the whole process much faster.
• Per-solution coverage settings - Starting from dotCover 1.1.1, coverage filters are stored per-solution in projectName.dotCover files. In case you're covering a compiled application, i.e. you're not working with a solution per se, global settings are used.

dotCover: Code Coverage for .NET

Testing code for coverage with dotCover
Similar to dotTrace, dotCover works with ReSharper. When you install dotCover, you see several options appear in the ReSharper menu options as well as the Test Runner window. First of all, under ReSharper | Unit Tests menu option, there is a new option to run coverage reports, either for specific tests or for the entire solution. Similarly, the Test Runner Window offers us the same options. You get a new icon to run tests under coverage, as well as a new tab that will display the output of the coverage report. Based on the information you want to obtain, you can run coverage reports on the entire solution or only certain tests. Running on the entire solution will give you a measurement of how much of yout entire code base is covered. In order to do so, you can select Cover All Tests from Solution. You can assign whatever keyboard shortcut you want to this action by selecting the ReSharper_UnitTest_CoverSolution command. Executing the command will run the unit tests and once completed will then proceed to run a coverage report. You can also run coverage on individual tests or classes, by selecting them and choosing to Cover with dotCover. The window groups coverage reports based on the option selected in the drop-down list. dotCover provides you with two measurements: percentage of code covered and number of statements.
