Branch Coverage

Branch Coverage

I just finished installing NCover-x86-2.0.3.msi to check the Branch Coverage Reporting feature not available in the version I was using.

Now the problem is that I'm not finding how to see that reporting. I only see a percentage referring the branch coverage after I finish running NCover.Console, but then when I load the result to NCoverExplorer I cannot find any reference to that feature.

By reading other topics in this forum I tried to generate a HTML report to see branch coverage, but again I did that only to find out that the report stated that branch coverage was not available.

So what am I doing wrong?

Thx, in advance

RE: Branch Coverage

Branch Coverage only appears in the HTML report when run from the command-line. When running NCoverExplorer, branch coverage is not reported.

Use NCover.Console to generate your HTML report.

RE: Branch Coverage

Thanks for the explanation, now everything is working as expected.

Well, maybe not everything, but probably I'm missing something, yet again.

The thing is that a simple method that just calls another overload never gets 100% branch coverage. Example:

    public string Overload(string name)
    {
        return Overload(name, "unknown");
    }

    public string Overload(string name, string lastName)
    {
        return String.Concat(name, " ", lastName);
    }

Why do none of the methods gets complete branch coverage? Where is the problem?

Thanks again.

RE: Branch Coverage

jmangelo,

I put together a quick test for this case and I'm getting complete branch coverage back. Could you send your coverage file to support@gnoso.com and we'll take a look at it?

Thanks, Stephen
