Code coverage reports with NCover and MSBuild(devlicio.us)

submitted by DrWatson(690) 2 years, 3 months ago

The key is to separate the code coverage profiling (which is done by NCover while it runs all the unit tests with NUnit) from the rendering of the reports. That way we only run the code coverage once; and that can sometimes take a good chunk of time to produce the coverage data. Rendering the reports is much quicker since the NCover reporting engine can feed off the coverage data as many times as we need, very quickly. Once we have the coverage data we can choose which report types we want to create, the thresholds for sufficient coverage (or to fail the build), which assemblies/types/methods we want to include/exclude from each report and where to save each of them.
