While C# is catching up with the Java community this area is more commercial (aka less likely to get a free implementation). Which is a shame as if it was more standard people would use and understand the benefits of coverage more! If I were to pin my hopes I would think Mono may end up helping with the free/cheaper alternative. I've heard good things about NCover (not free), and I see http://www.mono-project.com/Code_Coverage has something - but I've not tried that one. If you try it feel free to comment!

Sayatovic Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:49:04 +0000 http://www.csharphacker.com/technicalblog/?p=442#comment-92 I assume you're using the "team" edition of studio to get code coverage with MSTest. I've come from a Java world where there were several "free" code-coverage options (Cobertura, Crap4J, etc.), so I was dismayed that I can't find anything free for "MSTest". Unit testing without code coverage is like driving blind. I assume you’re using the “team” edition of studio to get code coverage with MSTest.
