JaCoCo Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about JaCoCo is its simplicity and accuracy. It gives code coverage reports quickly without much setup. Integration with Maven/Gradle is smooth, and the reports (HTML, XML) are easy to read. I also like that it works with unit tests automatically, no extra work needed.

In short: simple, fast, reliable, and easy reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don’t like about JaCoCo is it only measures coverage, not quality of tests. Sometimes it shows 100% coverage but tests may still be weak. Also, debugging coverage issues in complex projects can be tricky.

In short: coverage-only tool, no test quality check, tricky in big projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is one of the best lightweight Java code coverage tools I have used. It integrates easily with Maven projects, and I find its line coverage metrics particularly impressive. Being open source is a big plus. Additionally, it works seamlessly with IntelliJ, which makes it even more convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I couldn't find many negatives, but I do think the UI reporting could be enhanced with more detailed information. There's definitely room for improvement in that area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the seamless integration JaCoCo offers and appreciate that it provides both line and method coverage. I think the clear visual reports help in better understanding the areas to improve. The initial setup was pretty straightforward, making it easier to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can create issues handling multi-module projects. It can be more intuitive while defining plugin config for multi-module projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate JaCoCo for its ability to maintain high test coverage standards, which is crucial for our project's quality. The integration of test coverage reports into our pipeline helps ensure build integrity. Additionally, the detailed reports allow me to identify untested lines, enhancing overall code quality.

I sometimes miss runtime bugs because JaCoCo might not detect them. It would be helpful to have an integration part for testing that offers insights into those issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy JaCoCo is to set up and use, which made integrating it into our software development lifecycle very smooth. It provides a simple and efficient way to perform tasks, making the software integrated development process more accessible and clear, even for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would only suggest changing the logo of JaCoCo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Very easy to integrate into maven and gradle.

2. Clear and comprehensive reports.

3. Integrations with IDE (frankly saying, Idea IntelliJ has some internal code-coverage, but it could use JaCoCo directly)

4. Integrations with Sonar Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Look&Feel of some reports looks a little bit old and out-dated.

2. Such global solutions like Sonar does the final job better, but in terms of test coverage only task - JaCoCo is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to integrate with the IDE or tools

Easy to use

Very fast and accurate

Easily can filter and customize Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Finding the report is little bit complicated

Sometimes results are not updating properly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can verify how many lines of code is executed and how many lines of code is not executed in unit testing.We can make sure our bussiness logic is working as expected.

We are able to get the details of the code which is not tested then we can test those missed lines of code also by writing better Unit Test scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For Legacy Project implementing Jacoco plugin is tough nut to crack, beacause all modern project flows this approach,but not the legacy one.

It don''t provide complete details of code coverage like code smell,code bugs in the java code other than that it is a good tool for Code Coverage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most alluring aspect of JaCoCo is its capacity to offer thorough code coverage analysis. It provides comprehensive insights into the efficacy of test cases with support for line, branch, method, and instruction-level coverage.

It's impressive how accurately JaCoCo measures code coverage. It accomplishes this without significantly increasing performance overhead, ensuring my tests run quickly.

Its accessibility during development is improved by integrating with well-known Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), like Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For legacy codebases with low or no test coverage, integrating JaCoCo presents challenges. Understanding and addressing existing gaps in test coverage require additional effort, especially in large and complex codebases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
