Developing teams searching for a code coverage tester solution for compiled languages
About kcov
Kcov is a FreeBSD/Linux/OSX code coverage tester for compiled languages, Python and Bash. Kcov was originally a fork of Bcov, but has since evolved to support a large feature set in addition to that of Bcov. Kcov, like Bcov, uses DWARF debugging information for compiled programs to make it possible to collect coverage information without special compiler switches.

Coverage.py
Coverage.py is a tool for measuring code coverage of Python programs. It monitors your program, noting which parts of the code have been executed, then analyzes the source to identify code that could have been executed but was not. Coverage measurement is typically used to gauge the effectiveness of tests. It can show which parts of your code are being exercised by tests, and which are not. Use coverage run to run your test suite and gather data. However you normally run your test suite, and you can run your test runner under coverage. If your test runner command starts with “python”, just replace the initial “python” with “coverage run”. To limit coverage measurement to code in the current directory, and also find files that weren’t executed at all, add the source argument to your coverage command line. By default, it will measure line (statement) coverage. It can also measure branch coverage. It can tell you what tests ran which lines.

OpenCppCoverage
OpenCppCoverage is an open-source code coverage tool for C++ under Windows. The main usage is for unit testing coverage, but you can also use it to know the executed lines in a program for debugging purposes. Support compiler with a program database file (.pdb). Just run your program with OpenCppCoverage, no need to recompile your application. Exclude a line based on a regular expression. Coverage aggregation, to run several code coverages and merge them into a single report. Requires Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 or higher for all editions including the Express edition. It should also work with the previous version of Visual Studio. You can run the tests with the Test Explorer window.
