DeepCover vs. LuaCov vs. Python vs. blanket.js Comparison Chart

LuaCov is a simple coverage analyzer for Lua scripts. When a Lua script is run with the luacov module loaded, it generates a stats file with the number of executions of each line of the script and its loaded modules. The luacov command-line script then processes this file generating a report file which allows one to visualize which code paths were not traversed, which is useful for verifying the effectiveness of a test suite. LuaCov includes several configuration options, which have their defaults stored in src/luacov/defaults.lua. These are the global defaults. To use project specific configuration, create a Lua script setting options as globals or returning a table with some options and store it as .luacov in the project directory from where luacov is being run. For example, this config informs LuaCov that only foo module and its submodules should be covered and that they are located inside src directory.

A seamless JavaScript code coverage library. Blanket.js is a code coverage tool for JavaScript that aims to be easy to install, easy to use, and easy to understand. Blanket.js can be run seamlessly or can be customized for your needs. JavaScript code coverage compliments your existing JavaScript tests by adding code coverage statistics (which lines of your source code are covered by your tests). Parsing the code using Esprima and node-falafel, and instrumenting the file by adding code tracking lines. Connecting to hooks in the test runner to output the coverage details after the tests have been completed. A Grunt plugin has been created to allow you to use Blanket like a "traditional" code coverage tool (creating instrumented copies of physical files, as opposed to live-instrumenting). Runs the QUnit-based Blanket report headlessly using PhantomJS. Results are displayed on the console, and the task will cause Grunt to fail if any of your configured coverage thresholds are not met.
