"Clear, Self-Explanatory Coverage Visualization That Helps Improve Code Quality"

4.5/5

What do you like best about JaCoCo?

Jacoco is very self explanatory. It's visualization of code coverage, per file, per package is very easy to understand. And then the legends in each file showing what part was left uncovered really help improving code coverage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JaCoCo?

When a branch is missed, it just puts it in yellow. That's difficult to navigate at times since some conditions have a lot of branches and without knowing exactly which branch was left uncovered, spot checking becomes a little difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JaCoCo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Jacoco is maintaining a high bar in my codebase by ensuring a minimum of 90% code is covered. Any new line added to the code must be covered else the build fails which acts as a forcing function for people to ensure the right test cases are put in place before making any commits. But it also helps us devs to identify branches we might have genuinely left. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
