What do you like best about JaCoCo?

It supports many Java project types such as Maven and Gradle projects and easy to project analysis with the tools such as SonarQube. Jacoco support, code coverage reports export to many formats such as XML, PDF, and HTML reports, etc. As a Java developer, I mostly like the Jacoco providing good compatibility with JUnit and TestNG. Jacoco Jenkins pugin providing a good support to test integrations with Jenkins, therefore Jacoco Jenkins plugin helped us to complete our projects CI/CD pipelines in proper manner as we expected. Jacoco developer community also found many solutions when we integrate Jacoco to our Java projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JaCoCo?

In web view in code coverage report, better to have more descriptive about the code coverage missing blocks with suggestions. Better if Jacoco can provide hints in test reports to cover the uncovered code lines or code blocks. We found some issues when we integrate Jacoco with the latest version of Junit, better if Jacoco can release a newer version with JUnit 5 support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JaCoCo:

Jacoco is the best Java code coverage analysis plugin for any Java project. And useful plugin to integrate with CI/CD pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had to integrate our Java projects with SonarQube. But when we initially did integration with SonarQube, the project didn't get the code coverage. Therefore we integrated the Jacoco plugin with our Java project and did easily uploaded the code coverage when the Sonar scan run. We completed our CI/CD pipeline flow, test coverage analysis thanks to Jacoco. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can get a little confusing to integrate with Kotlin projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JaCoCo:

It's a good bet. Time-saving and useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Jacaco in our Android Kotlin projects with gradle to measure the unit tests code coverage.

With its insights, we have managed to get closer to our objective of shift-left testing.

If you can measure something, you can become better at it. Jacoco helps in quantifying the code coverage, which directs in improving the code quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. JaCoCo is a free code coverage library for Java, and hence no additional cost overhead for the team.

2. HTML report is the most human-readable report and easy to interpret. XML report is mainly used to integrate with other tools or dashboards, e.g., SonarQube

3. Jacoco coverage report can be merged with CI/CD with Jenkins

4. User can check from comprehensive report to single method coverage report. It measures line and branch coverage based on running unit test cases, along with integration tests. It provides visual information, including highlighted lines of code and the total percentage of code executed in each method.

5. Recently migrated from Cobertura to Jacoco as Cobertura is outdated (no more extended support Java versions above 7, and newer JDK versions).

It supports and allows Jacoco new users to use other teams' Jacoco configuration' as a guide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JaCoCo?

1. Jacoco should add an option to ignore/mark switch default cases as covered.

2. Only class-level exclusion is available

3. Any annotation with "Generated" in the name is filtered and not included in the code coverage. "Generated" in the name doesn't mean that it should be screened from code coverage.

4. Jacoco HTML report shows missing instruction on the line with @SuppressWarnings("unused") Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. We build the Maven project with the JaCoCo plugin configured, you can run the Maven build in any CI pipeline, which will help improve code quality.

2. We run code coverage on our builds on Jenkins to publicly track the coverage measurements.

3. It helps us to identify the code line which is untested by our automation suite where need to write more unit/integration test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about JaCoCo?

Easy integration with maven project and provides an excellent report on the code coverage, which helped us improve the application health matrix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JaCoCo?

It requires java agent as a JVM parameter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JaCoCo:

Although it depends on the use case, if you are looking for a code coverage tool, then jacoco is the right tool for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are solving the problem of application health scores for all our apps. We have integrated sonar for quality-gate related checks. But that does not show the code coverage.

So we have integrated jacoco in our applications which generates detailed reports on the code coverage, which helped us identify the areas that need attention. Also, it makes developers more aware of code coverage.

In the bigger picture, it has helped us in improving the overall application health score. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
