.NET Code Coverage Metrics
The right metrics can help identify the riskiest code – resulting in more effective testing and refactoring efforts. Release risk can be reduced by ensuring new code has been adequately tested and understanding how old code was effected. NCover provides both standard and advanced code coverage metrics designed to help you maintain the highest quality code. Standard metrics include Modules, Namespaces, Methods, Documents, Executions, Types, Sequence Points and Lines of Code. Core .NET code coverage metrics include Sequence Point Coverage and Branch Point Coverage. Advanced risk management metrics include Change Risk Anti-Patterns Score, Max Complexity and Percentage Satisfactory Complexity.
