JProbe Coverage
JProbe Coverage differs from the other applications in that it
is not so much a real-time analysis tool, but will monitor
classes to see what has/hasn't been tested and look for areas to
test. This can be valuable for a Quality Assurance team setting
up test cases and monitoring the testing process. JProbe will
save the coverage data, which you also merge with coverage data
from different test runs. This coverage data can be output as
XML, PDF, HTML, plain text or in comma-delimited format. And
like the other applications, JProbe Coverage performs
surprisingly well.
JProbe Coverage displays granular
testing information.
Conclusion
All of the tools within the JProbe suite are surprisingly
simple. They do what they say without any extraneous
functionality. Additionally, this version of JProbe performs
surprisingly well, all of the applications were able to run on
my minimally-equipped laptop in real-time without lagging or
otherwise overworking my CPU/memory. For anyone who isn't
currently using performance monitoring software, I would
recommend starting and JProbe is a good place to start. Anyone
who currently is using performance monitoring software other
than JProbe should at least give JProbe a test run. All in all,
JProbe does it's job well, and this should make your life, and
your customers' experiences all the better.
