Atlassian clover
Encyclopedia
Clover is a Java Code Coverage Analysis
application developed by Atlassian
. Although Clover is a commercial product, it is freely available to open source
projects and non-profit institutions.
Some features include historical reporting, complete control over the coverage gathering process, command line toolset and API for legacy integration and more.
Clover also allows testing time to be reduced by only running the tests that cover the application code that was modified since the previous build. This is called Test Optimization and can lead to huge drops in the amount of time spent waiting for automated tests to complete.
