Code Central
Enterprise-class code coverage powering world-class applications

Code Central was designed from the ground up for teams. Code Central can maintain licenses across products and users, making it easy for organizations to deploy multiple Code Central instances and to manage all of the connected Collectors and Desktops. Code Central also collects coverage data across all associated projects, whether the coverage data is being generated by a developer testing their C# code, a QA member running manual tests or a build server running automated unit tests. In addition, all authorized Code Central users can simply log in via a web browser and get up-to-date coverage data.

NCover makes it easy to share access to code coverage projects in Code Central. By making a Code Central project public, NCover admins provide users who can access Code Central with a supported browser the ability to review code coverage statistics and trends without managing another list of logins and credentials. Privacy settings are applied on a project-by-project basis, meaning you are always in control of how you share coverage results within your organization.

In addition to traditional licensing for Desktop and Collector, Code Central also supports floating licenses. Floating licenses are managed from Code Central and are based on concurrent usage. For teams where only a subset of users may be using NCover at any given time, floating licenses provide an attractive option for getting your entire team connected to NCover quickly and cost effectively.

Collector, when connected to Code Central, allows QA teams to quickly and easily collect coverage. Collector can profile all of your tests whether they are manual or based on automated scripts. Once a project has been set up and the parameters for coverage have been defined, Collector will look for tests on the code and automatically collect coverage without any interaction from the QA team.

In addition to NCover's data-rich interface, NCover also provides the ability to generate a static, distributable coverage summary report. This fully self-contained HTML is ideal for archiving with build or test server artifacts or for emailing to colleagues. There are no external css, image, or js files to cart around. The summary report contains embedded links back to NCover data views at the execution and the module levels.
