This document discusses code coverage tools and JaCoCo in particular. It summarizes that JaCoCo is an open-source Java code coverage library that collects execution data for Java applications and libraries. JaCoCo can collect data both offline from Java byte code or online by instrumenting Java applications dynamically. The document compares JaCoCo to other code coverage tools and outlines JaCoCo's integrations, metrics, and features to help developers test code coverage.
Introduction to code coverage tools EclEmma and JaCoCo, emphasizing code quality issues stemming from insufficient test coverage.
Highlights the significance of correctness and completeness in testing applications and the need for robust frameworks.
Discussion on Java byte code instrumentation techniques using runtime profiling and class loader mechanisms.
Comparison of various coverage tools like Emma, Cobertura, Clover, and JaCoCo, focusing on features and licensing.
Overview of integrations with popular development tools such as Ant, Maven, Eclipse, and others.
Identifying metrics for measuring code coverage including methods, lines, and complexity, emphasizing incremental coverage.
Insights into future enhancements in code coverage such as faster integration and JVM injection strategies.
Call to action for contributing to the JaCoCo project through the website.
