Reading NCover Report

Reading NCover Report

I've recently included NCover into my continuous build process. We're using CC.NET in our company. I'd like to know how to read NCover reports in CC.NET. I've set up NCover to produce SymbolModuleNamespaceClassMethod Report. And then I have:

  • Sequence Points
    • Acceptable
    • U.V.
    • Coverage
  • Branch Points
    • Acceptable
    • U.V.
    • Coverage
  • C.C.
    • Avg/Max

Could someone please explain to me meanings of these column (excluding Coverage - this seems to be self-explanatory ;) )

Thanks in advance :)

RE: Reading NCover Report

Acceptable is the % that you set as acceptable coverage for that item. You can use the //sct option to set these items down to the class level.

UV is unvisited points. CC is Cyclomatic complexity. Avg is the average at that level and max is the max at that level. So for a class if it is 1.5/5, you have an average cc of 1.5 but one as high as 5.

Does that help?

You've helped me a lot. Is there a reference for that anywhere?

Thanks a lot.
