ReportGenerator
What it is
ReportGenerator converts code coverage reports into readable reports in multiple formats and visualizes covered source lines. This command-line tool accepts reports from coverlet, OpenCover, dotCover, Visual Studio, NCover, Cobertura, JaCoCo, Clover, gcov, and lcov, and works on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Its reports show line and branch coverage; method coverage is a PRO feature. A history chart follows coverage over time, and the summary table offers filtering and sorting. Risk hotspot analysis can use cyclomatic complexity, NPath complexity, and CRAP score when those values are available, with configurable warning thresholds. Outputs include HTML, Clover, Cobertura, OpenCover, SonarQube, lcov, TeamCity summary, XML, Markdown, JSON, CSV, and text, among other formats. The maker states that GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps are supported. The project is open source under the Apache License, with a free plan for basic features and additional features requiring PRO. A free trial is listed as free for a 10 day trial period. Lifetime licenses are $79, paid once for an individual, $249, paid once for up to 10 developers, and $599, paid once for unlimited developers.
