What do you like best about JaCoCo?

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

What do you dislike about JaCoCo?

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.

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

It ensures that the test cases (junit tests) are covering almost all business functionalities.

It is being integrated with CICD builds which ensures the code quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about JaCoCo?

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.

What do you dislike about JaCoCo?

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.

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

We are using JaCoCo in the Gitlab pipeline to generate the code coverage report for the code changes done by developers and then to upload this information on the SonarQube server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about JaCoCo?

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.

What do you dislike about JaCoCo?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JaCoCo:

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. Since it's a easily configurable and pluggable thing and with its helpful reports you can maintain code coverage I think we should choose it without a Second thought.

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

What do you like best about JaCoCo?

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.

What do you dislike about JaCoCo?

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.

What do you like best about JaCoCo?

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.

What do you dislike about JaCoCo?

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.

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

Code review and code coverage during the PR, we made the jacoco report attachment mandatory for the PRs and it was super easy to see all the unit-test cases were getting passed and code-coverage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about JaCoCo?

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.

What do you dislike about JaCoCo?

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.

Recommendations to others considering JaCoCo:

Test Coverage - go for Jacoco !! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about JaCoCo?

I have used this tool for many projects and many years. It is an excellent tool for getting the test coverage line by line, each loop, and condition-wise. A great tool to get the coverage report in HTML format and the proper format to get the coverage of unit test cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JaCoCo?

Maybe you can improve more to represent the pie chart and more graphical and fault tolerance unit test cases to improve the code smells and code formatting. Also, you may work on the HHtml report to publish as a jira report also in a different format to send someone in as an Email or Git user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JaCoCo:

You may use Jacoco for TDD Code Coverage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The best thing about Jacoco is a complete Test coverage report of your code in proper HTML Format, even class by class and line by line, to understand your code coverage as a Jacoco coverage as a standard format of your code coverage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
