I've used Clover in the past and Cobertura since Dan mentioned it here a while ago. Cobertura is really really easy and works today, just use mvn cobertura:cobertura and it generates coverage reports in target\site\cobertura. Thats so easy I'd really prefer this over Clover unless Clover can also be done that easily. There's nothing stopping anyone who prefers Clover to also use that themselves.
75% coverage (or even quite a bit higher for a 1.0 release) is a fine goal but I think its a bit early to start excluding things from the next releases for not reaching that percentage. I'd much prefer we focus things like getting functional and integration testing frameworks in place first. ...ant On 9/5/06, Raymond Feng <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, Clover sounds good to me and I have tried it before. +1 on the 75% test coverage.
