On the fly instrumentation for QA Coverage Report

[Rupesh Rajkumar Bharuka]

Hi,

I am using clover to generate the QA Coverage Report. There are 2 different things when it comes to generating the test report i.e.,

1. Code coverage report by instrumenting the code at compile time

2. QA Coverage report by instrumenting the code at runtime/dynamically.

I am looking for the 2nd approach. So, is it possible to have dynamic instrumentation?

If yes, what's the right way to achieve the same?

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks

It's not possible, unfortunately. Clover uses source-code based instrumentation, which means that you have to compile the code with Clover. Other tools, such as JaCoCo, allow dynamic instrumentation via Java agent.
