Which tool can I use (as a tester) to track the code coverage for a web based application?

Question

I am a QA Intern and we use Selenium Webdriver to test our web based application. We are provided with a server on which the build to be tested is deployed. I wish to know is there a tool that I can use to track the code that is being covered by the tests that are run on that particular server? Also, keeping aside Selenium, in general, how can I track the code coverage of the application? I know about ScriptCover, does that help to track the coverage of entire UI or just the javascript part of it? Please Help. Thanks

Answer 1

Scriptcover is Javascript only.
