Can you recommend a jenkins-friendly C++ code coverage tool?

[Chris Withers]

Hi All,

Which C++ code coverage tool would you guys recommend to get a good
understanding of how much code is being covered by a Boost-based test of
unit tests and which works well with Jenkins?

Commercial tools are fine, provided they're good enough to justify their
cost :-)

cheers,

Chris

Hi Chris,

well, it depends on your compiler, but you might want to check out gcov,
with the gcovr script and the Cobertura plugin. see for example here:

We use GCC.

Cool, looks interesting, what others do people recommend?

Hi Chris,

we will soon go for Sonar
http://www.sonarsource.org/features/ not sure if that fits your
expectation. I'm even not sure if it fits ours XD
But it seems to be very powerful and versatile not to mention that the
sonar server, that runs separately can be connected to jenkins via a
jenkins plugin

Take care
Jan

I configured gcc with lcov output to HTML and used a plugin that let me link to the lcov HTML output.  It was fast and easy to configure and has worked well enough for my needs.

Interesting, what stopped you getting it to work with the Cobertura plugin?

Also, has anyone had any success intergrating purecov with Jenkins?

Maybe I can also present this solution if you use CMake:
