Can we use JaCoCo to capture front end code coverage ?

[aviint...@gmail.com]

Please let me know if we can use JaCoCo to capture front end code coverage?
We are currently using it for Backend. Not sure about front end part.
Thanks!

[Marc Hoffmann]

What exactly do you mean by “frontend”? JaCoCo can capture code coverage for any application running on a Java VM.

Thanks for your reply Marc!

By frontend, I mean HTML/UI elements. Can JaCoCo capture what % of UI elements are covered during our testing ?

[Henrik Horneber]

Jacoco measures coverage of Java code by instrumenting said java code.

Unless your system-under-test is a browser written in java or every parsing/reading/touching of the html/UI elements results in some java call, the answer is very likely no.
