What's New in dotCover - Help

dotCover 2017.2

.NET Core tests coverage support for MSTest.
Improved performance. Before 2017.2, working with continuous testing on large solutions was a real headache: while tests were executed really fast, it could take several minutes until the subsequent coverage session was finished. The problem no longer exists in dotCover 2017.2: due to the new snapshot format, dotCover provides much faster processing of coverage results.
Coverage results are now shown not only for specific tests, but also for test groups, projects, categories, etc.
Color-blind markers. Now, markers are able to indicate coverage and test results not only with color but also with their shape.
Add coverage data from snapshots. Now, when viewing coverage results of a particular unit test session,you can merge them with coverage data from a snapshot.

Highlighting using colored background. Since the new highlighting style (using markers) may not be a good fit for all use cases, we've added an option to switch between markers and colored background or to display both. The old highlighting style also supports the updated logic and displays both tests coverage and test results.

New code coverage highlighting. You can see test results right in the code editor.
More flexible coverage filters.
Ability to filter processes from console runner to reduce unnecessary overhead by excluding child processes that are irrelevant to the coverage analysis.
More convenient debugging of failed tests. You can set a breakpoint and run debugging.

Execution log in the Unit Test Sessions window and in the Continuous Testing Session window.
Ability to exclude auto-properties from coverage analysis with Hide auto-properties option.
Ability to filter processes from console runner to reduce unnecessary overhead by excluding child processes that are irrelevant to the coverage analysis.
