I'm looking for a test coverage tool that can show the call path/call graph of new untested code that came from a merge.

Example: I have a git repo (on github or bitbucket) and a test suite that covers X% on master, some other developer wants to contribute and do a fork and a pull request as usual, but he/she didn't included the tests (for many reasons). Then the tool show the untested call graphs that only came after the integration of this new code.

  • What is your development stack? e.g. programming language and test-framework you want coverage for.

  • Thanks for the reply @NielsvanReijmersdal, I don't have a specific stack, I'm a master student and this was an idea that I had and just wanna know if already there is a similar tool, but the main focus is Java.

  • Visual Studio has such a tool for Unit Tests.

You could try Diff-Cover: https://github.com/Bachmann1234/diff-cover

Diff coverage is the percentage of new or modified lines that are covered by tests. This provides a clear and achievable standard for code review: If you touch a line of code, that line should be covered.

Seems Diff-Cover uses Cobertura XML coverage reports, those might or might not be available for the stack you are using.

Cobertura XML coverage reports can be generated with many coverage tools, including:

  • Cobertura (Java)
  • coverage.py (Python)
  • JSCover (JavaScript)
