Code Coverage Demo

This project demonstrates how to generate code coverage reports using .NET with xUnit and Coverlet.

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK 8.0 or higher
• Git (optional, for cloning)

Getting Started

1. Clone or Download the Project

Clone this repository or download the source code to your local machine.

2. Build the Solution

From the root directory, run:

dotnet build

3. Run Tests

To run tests without coverage:

dotnet test

Generating Code Coverage Reports

Method 1: MSBuild Method (Recommended)

Navigate to the test project directory:

cd Numbers.Tests

Then run tests with coverage:

For Windows Command Prompt / PowerShell:

dotnet test /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=cobertura

For Git Bash / Linux / macOS:

dotnet test -p:CollectCoverage=true -p:CoverletOutputFormat=cobertura

This generates coverage.cobertura.xml in the Numbers.Tests directory.

Method 2: Data Collector Method

From the test project directory:

dotnet test --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage" -- DataCollectionRunSettings.DataCollectors.DataCollector.Configuration.Format=cobertura

This generates coverage file in TestResults/{guid}/coverage.cobertura.xml

Output Location

• MSBuild Method: Numbers.Tests/coverage.cobertura.xml
• Collector Method: Numbers.Tests/TestResults/{guid}/coverage.cobertura.xml
