About DeepCover
Deep Cover aims to be the best coverage tool for Ruby code. More accurate line coverage, and branch coverage. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for the built-in Coverage library. It reports a more accurate picture of your code usage. In particular, a line is considered covered if and only if it is entirely executed. Optionally, branch coverage will detect if some branches are never taken. MRI considers every method defined, including methods defined on objects or via define_method, class_eval, etc. For Istanbul output, DeepCover has a different approach and covers all def and all blocks. DeepCover doesn't consider loops to be branches, but it's easy to support them if needed. Even after DeepCover is required and configured, only a very minimal amount of code is actually loaded and coverage is not started. To make it easier to transition for projects already using the builtin Coverage library deep-cover can inject itself into those tools.

Tarpaulin
Tarpaulin is a code coverage reporting tool for the cargo build system, named for a waterproof cloth used to cover cargo on a ship. Currently, tarpaulin provides working line coverage and while fairly reliable may still contain minor inaccuracies in the results. A lot of work has been done to get it working on a wide range of projects, but often unique combinations of packages and build features can cause issues so please report anything you find that's wrong. Also, check out our roadmap for planned features. On Linux Tarpaulin's default tracing backend is still Ptrace and will only work on x86 and x64 processors. This can be changed to the llvm coverage instrumentation with engine llvm, for Mac and Windows this is the default collection method. It can also be run in Docker, which is useful for when you don't use Linux but want to run it locally.

blanket.js
A seamless JavaScript code coverage library. Blanket.js is a code coverage tool for JavaScript that aims to be easy to install, easy to use, and easy to understand. Blanket.js can be run seamlessly or can be customized for your needs. JavaScript code coverage compliments your existing JavaScript tests by adding code coverage statistics (which lines of your source code are covered by your tests). Parsing the code using Esprima and node-falafel, and instrumenting the file by adding code tracking lines. Connecting to hooks in the test runner to output the coverage details after the tests have been completed. A Grunt plugin has been created to allow you to use Blanket like a "traditional" code coverage tool (creating instrumented copies of physical files, as opposed to live-instrumenting). Runs the QUnit-based Blanket report headlessly using PhantomJS. Results are displayed on the console, and the task will cause Grunt to fail if any of your configured coverage thresholds are not met.

Devel::Cover
This module provides code coverage metrics for Perl. Code coverage metrics describe how thoroughly tests exercise code. By using Devel::Cover you can discover areas of code not exercised by your tests and determine which tests to create to increase coverage. Code coverage can be considered an indirect measure of quality. Devel::Cover is now quite stable and provides many of the features to be expected in a useful coverage tool. Statement, branch, condition, subroutine, and pod coverage information is reported. Statement and subroutine coverage data should be accurate. Branch and condition coverage data should be mostly accurate too, although not always what one might initially expect. Pod coverage comes from Pod::Coverage. If Pod::Coverage::CountParents is available it will be used instead.

JaCoCo
JaCoCo is a free code coverage library for Java, which has been created by the EclEmma team based on the lessons learned from using and integrating existing libraries for many years. The master branch of JaCoCo is automatically built and published. Due to the test-driven development approach, every build is considered fully functional. See the change history for the latest features and bug fixes. SonarQube code quality metrics of the current JaCoCo implementation are available on SonarCloud.io. Integrate JaCoCo technology with your tools. Use JaCoCo tools out of the box. Improve the implementation and add new features. There are several open-source coverage technologies for Java available. While implementing the Eclipse plug-in EclEmma the observation was that none of them are really designed for integration. Most of them are specifically fit to a particular tool (Ant tasks, command line, IDE plug-in) and do not offer a documented API that allows embedding in different contexts.
