Java code coverage tools
open-in-new
<p>Java code coverage tools are of two types: first, tools that add statements to the <a href="/facts/Java_/9ScgFyAL">Java</a> <a href="/facts/Source_code/o9J6Jv23">source code</a> and require its recompilation. Second, tools that instrument the <a href="/facts/Bytecode/EPkMFR7M">bytecode</a>, either before or during execution. The goal is to find out which parts of the code are tested by registering the lines of <a href="/facts/Code_coverage/XpYrB543">code executed</a> when running a test. </p>
