Microsoft has enhanced its code coverage tools, adding new features to Microsoft.CodeCoverage and introducing dotnet-coverage. The enhancements include fresh report formats that integrate smoothly with tools such as ReportGenerator.
Microsoft posted a bulletin about its enhanced code coverage tools on December 21. Both Microsoft.CodeCoverage and dotnet-coverage can run on any platform supported by .NET, due to the addition of static instrumentation. While the default remains the familiar coverage format, other report formats include Cobertura and XML. Cobertura is an open source XML format that can be opened in Visual Studio Enterprise or any text editor. Microsoft’s XML format also can be opened in Visual Studio Enterprise or a text editor.
