  • EMMA (free): http://emma.sourceforge.net/

  • JaCoCo (free): http://www.eclemma.org/jacoco/

Sonar uses Cobertura and JaCoCo but there is support for Clover and EMMA via Sonar plugins. The basic lifecycle of a code coverage analysis process consists of the following steps:

  • Byte code instrumentation—injects custom code to enable measurements

  • Test execution—performs the tests with the injected code

  • Analysis report—generation generates a test report in formats such as XML, HTML, PDF

  • Sonar data collecting—Sonar collects reporting data

For the needs of the book, we will use the default Cobertura engine.
