Answer from AI
For test coverage analysis in Java, the following tools are often used:
- JaCoCo — one of the most popular tools for measuring code coverage by tests. It easily integrates with Maven, Gradle, and other build tools.
- Cobertura — also a coverage analysis tool, although it is used less frequently now than JaCoCo.
- Emma — an old tool, now almost not used, but occasionally encountered.
Example of using JaCoCo with Maven:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
<artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.8.8</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>prepare-agent</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>report</id>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>report</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
These tools show which parts of the code are covered by tests and which are not, helping to improve testing quality.
