<p class="question">v1.4.0 - Sep 16th 2007</p>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following new features were introduced:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Major rewrite of the underlying object design for future maintainability. Should improve treeview
|
|
performance for .NET 2.0 users (and load performance for all users) as well as make it easier to
|
|
add new features.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Changes to the project setting file format and location, both as used by the NCoverExplorer gui
|
|
and the NCoverExplorer.Console.exe application. If you use the /c argument supplying a configuration
|
|
file to NCoverExplorer then you must modify your project file format. See ConsoleExample.config
|
|
for details (replace the outer tag to be called ConsoleSetting).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Replaced ICSharpCode text editor with Actipro which offers far superior features, more attractive
|
|
appearance and provides a more flexible licensing model for the future of NCoverExplorer.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
A new attribute added into the coverage report xml of "totalSeqPoints" which includes the
|
|
total of any excluded sequence points at that level. In response to a feature request in
|
|
<a href="http://ncover.org/SITE/forums/thread/697.aspx">this</a> NCover forum thread to allow
|
|
people to report how much code was excluded from coverage.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Add a copy command to the right-click menu for the source code area.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Add a print preview command to the File menu.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Add support for profiling a specific process module to the Run NCover dialog.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Add a /fc (failCombinedMinimum) option to NCoverExplorer.Console.exe for emulating the
|
|
original behaviour of failing based on total coverage to supplement the /f option which
|
|
fails if an individual module is below the coverage threshold.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following minor changes were made:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Rewrite the options dialog to use a VS.Net style property pages approach.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Exclusions tab in Options dialog - delete key is now a shortcut to removing an exclusion.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Reorder the file menu slightly so Run NCover is separated.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Source code window now has a splitter bar.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Command line generated for NCover 1.5.7+ in NCover Runner dialog includes the //reg
|
|
option if choosing to register coverlib.dll.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Statistics pane auto-sizes the last column to fill the width of the listview.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Coverage exclusions now support '?' and more complex wildcard expressions such
|
|
as Test.*.Something*.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following bug fixes were made:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Line number foreground colour not displayed correctly in options dialog tab.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Directory not created if not existing when writing output report.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Corrected typo in full name of parameter when using /quiet option with NCoverExplorer.Console.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Reduce GDI usage by editor control.
|
|
Rnsure Actipro renderer is correctly utilised.
|
|
Turn off text margins in NCover run dialog for editor.
|
|
Ensure C++ code has whole line highlighted even though no sequence point values.
|
|
(Build 1.4.0.6)
|
|

|
|
</ul>

<p class="question">v1.3.6 - Apr 5th 2007</p>
|
|
<p class="answer">Bundled with TestDriven.Net from build 2.5.2078.</p>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following new features were introduced:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added a Find dialog (ctrl+F) to quickly navigate to a class. Wildcards are supported.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added a /q or /quiet option to NCoverExplorer.Console.exe to minimise the output.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following minor changes were made:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Failing if less than a threshold now applies to any assembly not meeting the threshold
|
|
rather than comparing against the total coverage across all assemblies.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Add some examples to the NCoverExplorer.Console.exe output for the /help or /? (or no arguments).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Pressing ESC on the NCover Runner dialog will now close it.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Implement a workaround for poor treeview performance under .NET 2.0.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Rather than displaying validation errors automatically "fix" paths with matching trailing
|
|
slashes in the Change Source Path dialog.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Writing of coverage files should now match the schema for the relevant NCover version.
|
|
Later NCover versions like 1.5.7 have enhanced the schema, so the results of a merge or
|
|
save from NCoverExplorer should offer a comparative schema in the result.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Add a message indicating the return code to the output.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following bug fixes were made:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
NCover 1.5.5/6 produce duplicate sequence points. To workaround this fix Jamie Cansdale implemented
|
|
a change for me to the way the methods are identified uniquely. The longer term fix is NCover version 1.5.7
|
|
- this should keep things usable until that is released.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Another issue up to at least NCover 1.5.7 is that non-instrumented code does not have the sequence
|
|
points optimised. When merging multiple coverage files NCoverExplorer was incorrectly merging the noops with
|
|
valid instrumented sequence points, resulting in lower coverage information.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If CoverageReport.xsl stylesheet already exists in destination output folder for an xml report
|
|
and is marked as read-only then the replace would fail.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Drag/drop of coverage.xml files would add to the wrong end of the MRU menu once the maximum
|
|
number of items is reached.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If multiple classes in the same file then selecting a class node was not navigating to that
|
|
class in the source code tab. It will now jump to the first unvisited sequence point, or if
|
|
there are none of those the first sequence point in the class.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Wildcards for coverage exclusions were only working if placed at the ends, not in the middle
|
|
e.g. *.Tests or Testing.* would work, but xxx.*.yyy would not.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Prevent some of the nasty GDI errors in CommandBars code from disrupting the GUI. Longer
|
|
term will utilise another framework.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Replacing paths by typing them in had MaxLength set to 50 so impossible to edit long paths
|
|
in the Change Source Path dialog.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Merging property nodes under a parent in the tree has a dependency on the ordering of the coverage output
|
|
to ensure they appear properly.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
When restoring form position from persisted values, ensure it appears on a visible screen,
|
|
catering for the user changing their display settings between sessions.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Ensure stylesheet cannot be copied over the top of itself.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Supplying a file pattern with no matches to NCoverExplorer.Console.exe was throwing an "Index was
|
|
outside the bounds of the array" exception.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Multiple coverage exclusion attributes not supplied correctly to NCover (build 26).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Check to make sure node is assigned to a TreeView before getting handle to set text (build 32).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Sort sequence point nodes when loading and handle merge case of multiple non-instrumented
|
|
sequence points becoming a single sequence point. (build 36).
|
|
</li>

<p class="question">v1.3.5 - Oct 23rd 2006</p>
|
|
<p class="answer">Bundled with TestDriven.Net from build 2.0.1921.</p>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following new features were introduced:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added ability to run NCover from within NCoverExplorer (all versions). User Ctrl+N or
|
|
entries on File menu/toolbar to bring up configuration dialog. After successful
|
|
execution, the resultant coverage file is displayed in NCoverExplorer.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added ability to generate MSBuild, NAnt and command-line scripts for running NCover
|
|
from within NCoverExplorer. See the NCover dialog above.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added new function coverage viewing options and module/class coverage report.
|
|
Indicates the percentage of functions covered rather than the sequence points within each.
|
|
Supported by a new "satisfactory function threshold" and function % sorting options.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Background colours can now be customised for coverage nodes in the tree.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Reports will now have the current filtering applied, not just the sorting settings.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Reports using NCoverExplorer.Console can now have filtering and sorting applied. Use the
|
|
/sort: and /filter: command line arguments, or specify in a .config file (see example.config),
|
|
or use the sort/filter arguments to the NAnt/MSBuild tasks.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Sorting and filtering options applied are now persisted and reapplied to the next coverage
|
|
xml file loaded, both in this and future sessions.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added ability to filter out all nodes exceeding coverage threshold.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Revamp to the NAnt/MSBuild tasks. Renamed assemblies and namespaces. Included new attribute of
|
|
"AssembliesList" as an alternative to the "Assemblies" group element to allow direct
|
|
specification of a list as you would on the command line. The "Version" attribute is now optional
|
|
- the task determines it from the NCover assembly instead if not specified. Tasks will automatically
|
|
register NCover coverlib.dll using the HKCU entry in the registry - no need for regsvr32 any more!
|
|
NCoverExplorer task now writes it's config file to temp folder for passing to the executable.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added documentation for the NAnt and MSBuild tasks. This is included both in the NCoverExplorer.Extras.zip
|
|
file, as well as being available online for the custom <a href="http://www.kiwidude.com/dotnet/doc/NCoverExplorer.MSBuildTasks/index.html">MSBuild Task Help</a>
|
|
and <a href="http://www.kiwidude.com/dotnet/doc/NCoverExplorer.NAntTasks/index.html">NAnt Task Help</a>.
|
|
Links also available off the Help menu for NCoverExplorer.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added a schema file ConsoleConfig.xsd to the distribution for people wanting to know the exact syntax
|
|
options for creating .config files to pass to NCoverExplorer.Console using the /config switch.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added regular expression support to the coverage exclusions dialog for people wanting more complex queries.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following minor changes were made:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span style="color:red">Configuration file change - the ModuleThresholds section in .config files passed to NCoverExplorer.Console now
|
|
uses propercase attribute names to be consistent with the rest of the configuration file.
|
|
i.e. "ModuleName" instead of "moduleName", and "SatisfactoryCoverage" instead of "satisfactoryCoverage".</span> You must update
|
|
your NAnt/MSBuild tasks for NCoverExplorer if you use these. If you instead use the <exec> task with a .config
|
|
file then you should update the case of the entries in this file. This only affects people who have setup coverage exclusions
|
|
at the module level for reporting purposes.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If source code is out of date compared to the coverage results, the user is prompted with
|
|
the change source path dialog.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If the user chooses a new source code location, the tab is now automatically opened for
|
|
that location rather than requiring the user to click on the tree node again.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added Help->NCoverExplorer Forum menu option to link to the NCover website. Also included
|
|
forum link information on the exception dialog.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added a toolbar button for turning off filtering.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span style="color:red">Keyboard shortcut change - Changed the keyboard shortcuts for next/previous unvisited class (ALT+UP/DOWN) and
|
|
next/previous unvisited line in class (ALT+LEFT/RIGHT).</span>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Remember which tab was last opened in the NCoverExplorer options dialog during an NCoverExplorer session.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Replaced references to "transparent.gif" with "shim.gif" in the NCoverExplorerSummary.xsl. The "shim.gif"
|
|
file is a transparent 1x1 gif already distributed with CC.Net.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Coverage exclusions for assemblies are now case insensitive.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
There are no longer two default coverage exclusions added of "*.Tests" and "*.My*" for first time users.
|
|
Intended for demo purposes only but stayed in until now. New users can manually add them if they desire them.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following bug fixes were made:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Overloaded constructors with class level variable declarations were being merged into a single
|
|
constructor in the coverage results as they had the same "start line" of the variable. Now uses
|
|
end line as part of the identifying key for each method.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Memory leak from opening and closing tabs displaying source code.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
.Net 2.0 performance is pretty dire due to crap Microsoft changes to the TreeView control.
|
|
Change to default to .Net 1.1 in NCoverExplorer.exe.config and wrap updates to the tree
|
|
in BeginUpdate/EndUpdate.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Parsing Java code would blow up if an accessor had the same name as a nested class (illegal in C#).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Bugfix in NCover task where multiple assemblies were specified for NCover 1.5.4, which requires
|
|
separate <assembly> nodes.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Bugfix in trying to restore selected node text after refreshing file could raise
|
|
null reference exception.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Bugfix so that module names specified in module thresholds when using NCoverExplorer.Console
|
|
are no longer case sensitive for matching.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added support for NCover 1.5.5 - the //q bug is fixed in NCover. Also changed parsing code so that modules
|
|
with a blank assembly name (through using TestDriven.Net) are ignored from the coverage.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Bugfix for merge functionality for NCover.Console when wildcards were used with relative paths.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Bugfix for naming of xml/html arguments for NCover.Console with relative file paths.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Bugfix for drag/drop broken while making the memory usage optimisations during the 1.3.5 beta release.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Print button was enabled when no source code displayed resulting in exception.
|
|
</li>

<p class="question">v1.3.4 - Jul 10th 2006</p>
|
|
<p class="answer">Bundled with TestDriven.Net from build 2.0.1702.</p>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following new features were introduced:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added toolbar buttons which support moving to the next and previous unvisited code
|
|
within a class or namespace. Shortcut keys of N and P for next/previous unvisited line in the
|
|
current class (or mouse forward/back buttons). Use Ctrl+N and Ctrl+P to navigate to the
|
|
next/previous partially or unvisited class within the namespace (or Ctrl+forward/back mouse buttons).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
NCoverExplorer.Console.exe now supports saving the merged results of the coverage xml file(s) with
|
|
a /s[ave] option. The NCoverExplorer NAnt and MSBuild tasks have also been enhanced to support this
|
|
with an optional "mergeFileName" attribute.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
NCoverExplorer.Console.exe now supports wildcards for coverage xml filename(s).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
NCoverExplorer.Console.exe now supports module level coverage thresholds, rather than just a project
|
|
coverage threshold. This feature allows finer tolerance for both output on the reports and to fail
|
|
a build. Specifying the module thresholds is done either through a .config file (see ConsoleExample.config)
|
|
or through parameters in the NAnt/MSBuild tasks.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added a new summary report showing class coverage per namespace per module.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Enhanced the NCoverExplorerSummary.xsl to display summaries of each module.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Clicking on a class with non-existent source code displays a dialog allowing the user to specify an alternate
|
|
folder. For use when the source code location indicated within the coverage.xml file(s) loaded differs from
|
|
that on the local machine now (e.g. a different drive letter or folder path).
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following minor changes were made:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
NCoverExplorer release is compiled against .Net 1.1 rather than .Net 1.0 due to a dependency on the
|
|
FolderBrowserDialog not available in .Net 1.0.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Coverage file stylesheet modified to show coverage column and NCoverExplorer version information with
|
|
numerous other cosmetic enhancements.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Enrich error environment information to include .Net framework version and operating system.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Classes without a namespace are now shown under a namespace node of "-" like in Reflector.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following bug fixes were made:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Warnings about mismatches when merging xml files are no longer issued. NCover seems to inconsistently
|
|
produce xml file coverage of methods which caused some users problems when merging.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Nested classes without a namespace specified would cause the coverage.xml file to fail to load.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Parsing overloaded properties (overloads of this[]) would not show the separate overloads in the tree
|
|
and have incorrect coverage stats.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Fix memory leaks for when source code tabs are closed.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Minimum coverage threshold for NCoverExplorer.Console would sometimes be incorrect due to rounding.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Changed NCoverExplorerSummary.xsl to format to 1dp rather than rounding to 0.

<p class="question">v1.3.3 - Apr 4th 2006</p>
|
|
<p class="answer">Bundled with TestDriven.Net from build 2.0.1578.</p>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following new features were introduced:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added NCoverExplorer.Console.exe for utilising NCoverExplorer features with automated
|
|
coverage builds and NAnt tasks. By default will load up all the specified coverage file(s), apply
|
|
any coverage exclusion(s) specified in the NCoverExplorer configuration and display total
|
|
coverage statistics in the console output. If all items processed successfully returns an exit code of 0,
|
|
if an exception occurs returns an exit code of 2.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added /m:xx (or /minCoverage:xx) argument to NCoverExplorer.Console.exe. When used in conjunction with
|
|
/f (or /failMinimum) an exit code of 3 is returned if the min coverage is not reached. Can act
|
|
as a trigger for failing an automated build such as with CruiseControl.Net.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added module & namespace summary xml report generation to NCoverExplorer (both the GUI and Console versions).
|
|
In the GUI, this is available via the "View->Reports" menu. The three reports that are offered currently are:
|
|
<br/> - Module Summary (Coverage totals for the project and per module);
|
|
<br/> - Namespace Summary (Coverage totals for the project and per namespace);
|
|
<br/> - Module Namespace Summary (Coverage totals for the project, per module and per namespace);
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Reports can be generated in xml or html format. Native html may be useful for directly attaching to e-mails.
|
|
If xml format is chosen a "CoverageReport.xsl" stylesheet is copied from the NCoverExplorer installation
|
|
folder to the report directory and linked to the xml file similar to coverage.xml/coverage.xsl by NCover.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Reports can contain an "excluded nodes" footer section. This lists at the topmost level all of the items
|
|
excluded from coverage at the time the report was run.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added "View->Filter" main menu and context menus, offering the ability to filter out nodes. Filtered
|
|
nodes are simply moved under a new "Filtered" tree node and do not alter the coverage statistics
|
|
(unlike excluded nodes which are effectively removed from the tree). Filters offered are either to
|
|
hide all 100% covered nodes, or hide all unvisited (0%) nodes.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added "Include in Results" context menu option for when clicking on either the "Excluded" bin or one
|
|
of it's immediate child nodes. Offers a way to "undo" an exclusion without reloading the file.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added "View->Summary Statistics" menu option (shortcut F3) to show dialog of totals of files, classes, members,
|
|
NCLOC (non-commented lines of code) and sequence points. Statistics do not include excluded nodes
|
|
(but will include filtered nodes).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Created NAnt and MSBuild tasks for execution of NCoverExplorer.Console as an alternative to the <exec> task.
|
|
These tasks offer a more developer friendly alternative such as <fileset> for coverage files and creating a
|
|
.config file on the fly based on specified parameters such as <exclusions> within the .build/.proj file.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Replaced menus with a lightly tweaked variant of Lutz Roeder's excellent CommandBar code to give a more modern
|
|
look and assign icons on the menus.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added a toolbar. If not wanted the toolbar can be hidden using the "View->Show Toolbar" menu option.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following minor changes were made:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Options dialog shortcut changed to F2.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Excluding a node will now select the node after by default rather than the one previous.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following bug fixes were made:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Fix bug where delete key shortcut was active on the root coverage file node, causing an exception to be thrown.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Path was being truncated from the module name when saved.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Fix bug where changing theme without coverage file loaded caused error.

<p class="question">v1.3.2 - Mar 14th 2006</p>
|
|
<p class="answer">Bundled with TestDriven.Net from build 2.0.1545.</p>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following new features were introduced:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added support for merging multiple coverage files. This can be triggered through a variety of ways:
|
|
<br/> - Selecting multiple test classes/fixtures/projects in TestDriven.Net;
|
|
<br/> - Passing multiple files in the command line arguments;
|
|
<br/> - Selecting multiple files in the Open dialog;
|
|
<br/> - Using a new "File->Merge..." menu option;
|
|
<br/> - Drag/dropping onto the NCoverExplorer application.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added tabs for each source code file you open to explore coverage on. If you click on a partial class
|
|
then tabs will be opened for each of the source code files making up the class.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added the ability to exclude assemblies, namespaces or classes from the coverage results by a wildcard capable
|
|
case-sensitive match on the name. By default NCoverExplorer includes two exclusions:
|
|
<br/> - Exclude all assemblies with the name ending in ".Tests".
|
|
<br/> - Exclude all namespaces with the name containing ".My" (for VB.Net exclusions).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added support for the NCover 1.5.4 "excluded" attribute which can be found in the coverage.xml files when
|
|
the appropriate NCover command-line attributes are used. Note that TestDriven.Net still does not as yet
|
|
support this attribute so you need to use the NCover.Console command line for this feature - for more information see
|
|
<a href=http://ncover.org/SITE/blogs/ncover_blog/archive/2006/01/29/103.aspx>here</a>. NCoverExplorer
|
|
will not include nodes marked as 'excluded' by NCover in it's totals but will still display them in the tree.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added an "Excluded" child bin node containing all nodes that have been excluded by the options dialog, by NCover
|
|
attributes or by the "Exclude From Results" context menu option (see next point).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Replaced the "Remove from Results" context menu feature with "Exclude from Results" (shortcut of the DEL key).
|
|
Achieves a similar result of removing nodes from coverage calculations, however the nodes are "moved" to the
|
|
Excluded bin rather than being deleted from the tree.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added a custom "theme" capability along with further colour and font customisation options for the coverage tree,
|
|
statistics and source code panes. A number of predefined "themes" are supplied and users can add their own.
|
|
Users can switch between themes either in the Options dialog or via the "View->Themes" menu.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added a new "View->Coverage" menu which has sub-options related to "Sequence Point Coverage" and
|
|
"Function Coverage", assigned shortcut keys ctrl+(1-4):
|
|
<br/> - Choosing one of the "Sequence Point" variants will display the tree nodes with differing naming
|
|
combinations of coverage percentage and # unvisited sequence points.
|
|
<br/> - Choosing "Function Coverage" will alter the coverage tree display so that only methods/classes that were
|
|
invoked are highlighted. Method nodes show the number of visits to that method. Class, namespace and module nodes
|
|
show the maximum visit count by any of their children.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added a "View->Sort By" menu option and context menu on the tree, with sub-options for "Name" (default),
|
|
"Class name/line number", "Coverage %" (ascending/descending), "Uncovered Sequence Points" (ascending/descending)
|
|
and "Visit Counts" (ascending/descending).
|
|
Assigned shortcut keys of ctrl+shift+(1-8). Note that reloading the coverage file will remove the current sort
|
|
and default back to by "Name".
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added "Save" and "Save As" options to the File menu. These give you the option of overwriting/creating a
|
|
new coverage.xml file with the current values loaded in NCoverExplorer. Any coverage exclusions/removed
|
|
nodes will not appear in the saved coverage file. Note that the methods are written in the same order as
|
|
the sort order specified above.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added an "Explore Coverage Folder" menu option to the file menu.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added an "Expand All" context menu option on the tree (shortcut ctrl+L).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Enhanced the statistics pane. When a class node is selected you will now see additional columns of
|
|
coverage %, unvisited sequence points and sequence points. When clicking on a method node you will
|
|
now see the filename.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Implemented "smart expansion" in the tree. If when you expand a node there is only one child node
|
|
then that node will also be expanded and so on. Increases speed of tree navigation particularly
|
|
if using a style of "Nested" namespaces with deep hierarchies.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Display class file name in tab page header bar when a method node is clicked on. Tooltip shows the path.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following minor changes were made:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Optimised when reloads of the coverage file so it is now only required if you change a coverage exclusion
|
|
or the tree grouping/nesting styles in the options dialog. Makes for a snappier UI.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added a "Close" menu option to remove any loaded coverage file(s) from display.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Moved all the "Recent Files" into a submenu to tidy up the File menu.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Pressing Tab/shift-tab while focus is in the TextEditor pane of source code will now
|
|
move focus out of the TextEditor.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If a source code file contains multiple classes (not nested), then only the highlighting relevant
|
|
to that particular class will be displayed in the editor window as each class tree node is clicked.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Excluding the My namespace is now done through the Exclusions feature.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Options dialog can be displayed using the F4 shortcut key.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Removed last remnants of "non VS.Net standard colors" from the C# ICSharpCode TextEditor template.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Make the GUI naming consistent to correctly reference "sequence points" rather than "lines" and "unvisited"
|
|
rather than "uncovered".
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Removed "Edit in VS.Net" from the View menu.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Changed NCoverExplorer main form icon to one that includes 32x32 sizes so Alt-Tab switching looks
|
|
better than upscaled 16x16 icon.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
User is now prompted to remove a non-existent coverage file from the "Recent" files list rather than
|
|
automatically being removed.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following bug fixes were made:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Serializing the configuration settings was not flushing the stream - resulting sometimes in a blank settings file
|
|
preventing people from loading NCoverExplorer. Will now revert to default settings if an error occurs.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Displaying a source code file that has been modified to have less lines of code than at the time of the coverage run
|
|
will now display a user friendly message box.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Compensation made for NCover not reporting column information when profiling C++ code. NCoverExplorer will now
|
|
highlight the entire line rather than throwing an error.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
In some circumstances properties were not highlighted consistently due to a bug in the property node expansion.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Coverage greater than 99.5% will no longer be rounded up to 100% in the display. It is instead shown as ">99.5%".
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Extremely high visit counts will no longer overflow the visit count.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Statistics pane for a class will now always consistently show the property nodes grouped, rather than only
|
|
after the class node has been expanded in the tree.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Recent file menu would display incorrectly for files numbered from 10 onwards truncating first character.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Release notes & FAQ were always directed to website rather than local versions when NCoverExplorer was started
|
|
from TestDriven.Net.

<p class="answer">Bundled with TestDriven.Net from build 2.0.1435.</p>
|
|
<p class="answer">The following new features were introduced:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Namespaces are now "flattened" by default in the tree. This looks like the ClassView
|
|
browser in VS.Net 2005 (or Lutz Roeder's Reflector). You can retain the nested look by changing it in the View->Options dialog.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If you use the original "nested" namespace style (like the VS.Net 2003 class browser), then inner namespaces will now be
|
|
listed at the top of each branch with the classes listed underneath which is less confusing to navigate.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Option to exclude the "My" namespace for VB.Net projects (for use with with BCL 2.0 & NCover 1.5.x).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Right-click menu option on coverage tree (shortcut ctrl+R) to "Remove From Results" that selected node
|
|
and all it's children. Will force the coverage values to be recalculated. Intended for use where
|
|
you have undesired assemblies, namespaces, classes or methods included in the report that are skewing your
|
|
coverage results and you want them removed.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Option to specify a satisfactory coverage threshold as a number of lines instead/as well as a percentage.
|
|
If either of the conditions are met the node is coloured differently (provided the coverage is not zero).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Colours can now be customised for both the source code highlighting and the nodes in the tree.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Collapse all nodes context menu option on the coverage tree control (shortcut ctrl-A). Equivalent to reloading
|
|
the coverage file (but would preserve any changes you have made such as removing nodes).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
By default the NCoverExplorer now attempts to restore your currently selected node/caret position after
|
|
reloading a coverage.xml file (either F5 or by execution of another "Test With Coverage" command in TestDriven.Net).
|
|
You can turn off this behaviour in the View->Options dialog.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Statistics pane is now sortable by method name (default), visit count and line number.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Statistics pane now summarises all the methods and their visit counts when a class node is clicked.
|
|
Can be used as a basic form of method invocation counting for a fairly rudimentary level of profiling.
|
|
The colouring used is the same as that of the tree to visually assist in identifying methods invoked.
