Cobertura for J2ME is not dead |
|
|
It has been more than a year since I released 1.1.0 RC2 so it would be legitimate to think this project is dead. As of late I however found some time to look at it again. I am planning to get one more RC version out before freezing 1.1.0. I've given myself one month to get RC3 ready and 1.1.0 should follow shortly after. Stay tuned.

What is Cobertura for J2ME?
Cobertura for J2ME is a Java(™) ME test coverage tool. In other words, it calculates the percentage of code executed by a test suite.
This tool is based on Cobertura v1.2, a free test coverage tool for J2SE.
It makes use of the following libraries:
Note: CLDC 1.1 and JSR75 FileConnection API are required to run Cobertura for J2ME.
How does it work?
Cobertura for J2ME adds instrumentation to the code (bytecode) you want to analyse.
Basically, each statement is followed by a call to the logging facility - part of
this tool. Therefore, at runtime the code executed is logged and the data stored in a file.
Afterwards, using this data file, Cobertura for J2ME generates a report providing the different
coverage metrics in html format.

Why is Cobertura for J2ME not part of Cobertura ?
As mentioned above, Cobertura for J2ME is
based on Cobertura. However due to the unique limitations of Java(™) ME, it was not possible to
easily fit its support within the parent project architecture. For example, serialisation is not
supported on Java(™) ME and the way to access the file system is also different. These issues required major redesign of the way the coverage data (or meta data) is handled and persisted. Therefore it was necessary to fork the code base and this is why
Cobertura for J2ME is a separate project.
