I'm trying to find a Code Coverage tool, to evaluate the coverage of my testing. This tool needs to have the following:
- be easy to use
- work totally from the command line
- work for a multiple-process software system, that also is multi-threaded
- provide a hit count (so I know if there might be redundant tests)

I've tried evaluating BullseyeCoverage and PurifyPlus. Bullseye is pretty nice, but doesn't provide the hit count. PurifyPlus is harder to use, and the result viewer requires a GUI, so that's not likely to work.

Does anyone have other recommendations? I am investigating Insure++ and Cantata++ now.

Thanks!

Why does it have to be command line?

Purify Plus is command line. You just have to read thru a little documentation.

I recently was able to get purify plus working with Apache and resin on Linux.

The quick answer is you need to compile and instrumentalize your httpServlet extension. And then you need to exclude your source files in the project. Then Add an external commend. Specify the external command to launch your resin servlet. Lastly, copy the instrumentalized java class files over your existing class files. Then execute the project.

Code coverage isn't really programming... it's a headache to get working.

umm......not sure if this is what u want......but check out gcov
