I´m searching for a way to generate code coverage reports on VS2012 professional and using Nunit. I know that VS2012 ultimate have a code coverage tool and with Nunit_Adapter you can generate the code coverage report, but the issue is that I am using VS2012 professional and does not have the option to generate the code coverage report.
Does someone knows a plug-in or a relative simple way to creates this reports on VS2012 professional?
Thanks,
P.S And if someone knows a way to creates this reports using Nunit framework on VS2010 it could be an option.
Or if you want free (opensource) you can try OpenCover which is available as a nuget package and use ReportGenerator to generate some nice reports.
You'll need a third party code coverage tool, such as NCover or dotCover.

Has anyone ever used gtest with visual studio? if so, how did you get code coverage reports? I'd like to configure my project to produce coverage data, but it seems like nobody else uses gtest/visual studio with gcov or any other code coverage.
I asked around the office, and someone suggested this tool: https://github.com/OpenCppCoverage/OpenCppCoverage
I will give it a try. I will come back and report the results.
Is there any way to feed visual studio static analysis on c++ code base into sonar?
Thanks
Did you check out the VSSonarExtension? Some hints on how to use it your can find here.
Update:
The other way around there may be a plugin by jmecosta called VSSonarAddin. One of its features is
"c++, runs local analysis with cppcheck and reports violations added
by local changes. "
You can find the project on github.
The Community C++ Plugin supports feeding compiler warnings as violations into SonarQube. You usually need to build your code with code analysis enabled and later you can use that data during SonarQube analysis. See here for more details!
I'm trying to find a way to migrate from mstest to xunit and still benefit from the IDE integration which made me choose mstest in the first place. Gallio seems to accomplish this noble goal, plus it's free (don't want Reshaper or TestDriven.net). But I can't get code coverage to work.
My solution contains of two projects: project SUT (the assembly I need to test) and project SUT.Tests which is a VS test project (this allows Gallio to display xunit tests in VS's Test View). I have code coverage enabled in Local.testSettings for SUT.dll and instrumentation is in place. After the test run completes there is no code coverage. Code Coverage Results window reports: Empty results generated: none of the instrumented binary was used. Look at test run details for any instrumentation problems. Unfortunately the test run details do not contain any "instrumentation problems". I tried unchecking the instrument assemblies in place checkbox and re-running the unit test; same result.
Any idea what's wrong?
My setup:
- Windows 7 x64
- VS 2010 Premium (SP1)
- xUnit 1.8
- Gallio 3.3.1 x64 (installer, not zip)
Apologies for answering my own question:
Turns out Gallio loads SUT.dll from SUT.Tests\Bin\Debug rather than SUT\Bin\Debug. I added this path to code coverage details, selected it instead of the default SUT.dll path and now it works! This is better described at here, towards the end of the post.
I use VS2005 but the version is not integrated to fxcop. Now I need to have some code metrics and the most proper is fxcop. How can I integrate VS with fxcop? Which version of fxcop do I need? What else should I take under consideration before I integrate fxcop?
Thanks,

As far as I know, the only way to do this is to run FxCop as an external tool. See here for details:
http://geekswithblogs.net/sdorman/archive/2007/02/18/106630.aspx
You should be able to use the latest version of FxCop, if you want to.
I'm beginning to get the grips of BDD and MSpec, but I'm still really bugged by the fact that I'm unable to debug my tests/specs, and that I have to leave the IDE to go to a html report file to see the results.
Currently, I have a post build event configured to run mspec.exe $(TargetFileName) --html “$(ProjectDir)Report.html”, but there must be some better way to do this.
Does anyone know any good add-ins, test runners or whatever that will let me
debug tests, instead of just running them
show the test results in a nice way inside Visual Studio
(Footnote: I'm running VS2010 Professional on Windows 7, if that matters.)
There are basically three options you have:
You can set up a custom tool in
Tools | External Tools to start
mspec.exe with the current project's
assembly to run the contexts and
generate the HTML report.
Install TestDriven.Net and
ensure that
Machine.Specifications.dll.tdnet
and
Machine.Specifications.TDNetRunner.dll
are in your project's copy of MSpec.
You can then run and debug your
contexts from the context menu: "Run
Tests", "Run With | Debugger" without further installation.
There's an example of what the MSpec folder
looks like for all of my projects.
If you use ReSharper 4.1, 4.5, 5.0
or the latest 5.1 EAP (== beta)
there are runners for each of these
versions.
The ZIP download
contains batch files that install
the runner for each respective
version of ReSharper. ReSharper's
unit test support is pretty
extensive in terms of UI
widgets/shortcut support, the reporting
tree view and debugging.
If you're
a dotTrace user you can also profile
right from within Visual Studio.
dotCover (another JetBrains product)
allows you to calcualate code
coverage results from your MSpec
runs.
On top of that, you get
all the nice coding and navigation features that ReSharper provides.
Be aware that only the first option will generate the HTML report as both the TestDriven.Net and ReSharper runners do not support HTML report generation. From my point of view this isn't an issue since the TD.Net and ReSharper runners offer fairly complete reporting mechanisms through the Visual Studio UI.
Another option that might work (I haven't used it myself) is to leverage the Gallio support that MSpec has. Gallio is a runner/framework for several testing frameworks; it might as well support debug runs with MSpec. Contact #smaclell if you have questions about Gallio support.
