Anyone looking for a powerful Code Coverage metric solution for Perl
About Devel::Cover
This module provides code coverage metrics for Perl. Code coverage metrics describe how thoroughly tests exercise code. By using Devel::Cover you can discover areas of code not exercised by your tests and determine which tests to create to increase coverage. Code coverage can be considered an indirect measure of quality. Devel::Cover is now quite stable and provides many of the features to be expected in a useful coverage tool. Statement, branch, condition, subroutine, and pod coverage information is reported. Statement and subroutine coverage data should be accurate. Branch and condition coverage data should be mostly accurate too, although not always what one might initially expect. Pod coverage comes from Pod::Coverage. If Pod::Coverage::CountParents is available it will be used instead.

BullseyeCoverage
BullseyeCoverage is an advanced C++ code coverage tool used to improve the quality of software in vital systems such as enterprise applications, industrial control, medical, automotive, communications, aerospace and defense. The function coverage metric gives you a quick overview of testing completeness and indicates areas with no coverage at all. Use this metric to broadly raise coverage across all areas of your project. Condition/decision coverage provides detail at the control structure level. Use this metric to attain high coverage in specific areas, for example during unit testing. C/D coverage provides better detail than statement coverage or branch coverage, and provides much better productivity than more complex coverage metrics.

froglogic Coco
Coco® is a multi-language code coverage tool. Automatic source code instrumentation is used to measure test coverage of statements, branches and conditions. Executing a test suite against an instrumented application produces data that can later be analyzed. This analysis can be used to understand how much of the source code has been hit by tests, which additional tests need to be written, how the test coverage changed over time and more. Identify redundant tests, untested or dead code. Identify the impact of a patch on the code and code coverage & your testing. Coco supports statement coverage, branch coverage, MC/DC and other levels. Linux, Windows, RTOS and others. Using GCC, Visual Studio, embedded compilers and more. Choice of different report formats (text, HTML, XML, JUnit, Cobertura). Coco can also be integrated with various build, test and CI frameworks like JUnit, Jenkins and SonarQube.

Coverage.py
Coverage.py is a tool for measuring code coverage of Python programs. It monitors your program, noting which parts of the code have been executed, then analyzes the source to identify code that could have been executed but was not. Coverage measurement is typically used to gauge the effectiveness of tests. It can show which parts of your code are being exercised by tests, and which are not. Use coverage run to run your test suite and gather data. However you normally run your test suite, and you can run your test runner under coverage. If your test runner command starts with “python”, just replace the initial “python” with “coverage run”. To limit coverage measurement to code in the current directory, and also find files that weren’t executed at all, add the source argument to your coverage command line. By default, it will measure line (statement) coverage. It can also measure branch coverage. It can tell you what tests ran which lines.

DeepCover
Deep Cover aims to be the best coverage tool for Ruby code. More accurate line coverage, and branch coverage. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for the built-in Coverage library. It reports a more accurate picture of your code usage. In particular, a line is considered covered if and only if it is entirely executed. Optionally, branch coverage will detect if some branches are never taken. MRI considers every method defined, including methods defined on objects or via define_method, class_eval, etc. For Istanbul output, DeepCover has a different approach and covers all def and all blocks. DeepCover doesn't consider loops to be branches, but it's easy to support them if needed. Even after DeepCover is required and configured, only a very minimal amount of code is actually loaded and coverage is not started. To make it easier to transition for projects already using the builtin Coverage library deep-cover can inject itself into those tools.
