As it is in the name Ja(va) Co(de) Co(verage) says, it is a java library that's mainly used in the testing phase, wherein its used to check the code coverage of each line of code written. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing as such to dislike in it, but one thing that can be improved is the UI of the generated report as I feel it can be modernized a bit. Currently it seems to be a little retro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrates well with Intellij & Eclipse to generate code coverage reports in well readable format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is limited to junit test cases.

If junit tests are not written then Jacoco cannot generate the code coverage reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration is very easy with SonarQube and Maven just by adding a dependency in the pom file of the Java project. We can quickly see the code coverage report on the SonarQube server for the code changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The report can be more readable. Also, the language support needs to be extended. Would be better if it can be available in the form of standalone tool to quickly check the code coverage via Eclipse plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Absolute code coverage tool and the best part is you can check though IDE or even can integrate with sonarQube. The best part is you can easily integrate with your project so go ahead with it without a second thought. I would personally recommend it whenever you are considering the code coverage tool. And it's very easy to integrate with your java project just add some configuration in pom file and Yor are ready to use it. In case of sonar you have to provide path of the report to publish report on sonar which is quite easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have seen in case of eclipse IDE it shows result in percentage of code coverage for particular class it will be good it will show number of lines covered. It's reports are not that much easy to read which I feel something needs to be improved but it's not that hard like you will lost into it while reading or something that needs concentration to understand but kinda average.

It is the best code coverage tool to use for java Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as such. Everything is good. We can clearly check the code coverage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

we can easily integrate it with the Maven dependency tool and sonar qube. And we can quickly find the coverage for the java service project by adding dependencies to maven. This will improve the overall code coverage, bugs, vulnerability, etc., Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel we need to have a scanner that can run on top of any language source project and give the report. Currently, we need to integrate with the dependency tool which should be avoided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting the test reports and static analysis and code coverage by the Jacoco plugins with IDEs and integration with the build is super smooth. And all the reports were in HTML format so user can see the reports in the browser itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I used with last service, sometimes dependencies take a bit longer time with the build server, it could be a server issue or dependency issue I haven't gone for the root cause analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to integrate with IDE's and very easy to use with java apps for code coverage and generate reports. I like this plugin it is easy very to use with maven and gradle build tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike it that it doesn't have a master GUI. If it has UI then it is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps find missing test opportunities and improve our Test-Coverage, alongside PITest.

For that, It points out the line of codes that aren't tested.

The best part is it exports the report in almost every format, such as XML, PDF, HTML reports, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The problem with this software is that it is needed to be set up in a test environment that is not fully automated.

- Also, it only writes the coverage file after the application is shut down

- and in the default configuration, it writes to disk directly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Used this tool in our working environment for many projects and so far is the best tool for testing and getting the reports in multiple formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be a little tricky to use for non-experienced users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
