I have created a .coverage file using Vsperfmon.exe

I am currently using VS 2012 professional for web licensed edition. The .coverage result cannot be opened in VS Professional. After Googling I have come to know that VS Ultimate can open it

Rather than using VS Ultimate, is there any plugins for VS professional 2012 or any 3rd party solutions

I've spent some time researching this today, as I'm in a similar situation; I have a .coverage file generated by TFS, and VS 2012 Pro, and I can't view the file. As far as I can tell, the answer is "You need VS Premium or Ultimate to view .coverage files."

I found https://github.com/danielpalme/ReportGenerator, which generates reports based on XML-formatted coverage files. It includes instructions for converting .coverage to XML (see https://github.com/danielpalme/ReportGenerator/wiki/Visual-Studio-Coverage-Tools), but that process depends on Microsoft.VisualStudio.Coverage.Analysis which isn't present in VS Pro.

  • That is how i worked. But unfortunatly license for VS Ultimate expired.So I am in the middle of nowhere and because of that I dropped my idea of code coverage temporarly – Robert_Junior Dec 31 '13 at 06:07
  • If you're looking for a free (as in beer) solution, try OpenCover (https://github.com/sawilde/opencover/) with ReportGenerator. I was able to get a coverage report from my MSTest unit tests using those tools. However, I'm not sure I can integrate those with our Visual Studio Online build. – jscott Dec 31 '13 at 11:48

    ReportGenerator has moved from CodePlex to GitHub. Instructions for converting .coverage to .xml are now here: https://github.com/danielpalme/ReportGenerator/wiki/Visual-Studio-Coverage-Tools – Mark Apr 24 '18 at 10:33

    Even if you only have a Professional license, you may have Microsoft.VisualStudio.Coverage.Analysis.dll on your system. E.g. in \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\Extensions\TestPlatform or similar – Johan Franzén Dec 05 '18 at 12:33

Another tool I came to know to convert .coverage file to readable format is Visual Coverage .This converts into html
