PHPUnit vs. Phylum vs. V Programming Language vs. dotCover Comparison Chart

Phylum defends applications at the perimeter of the open-source ecosystem and the tools used to build software. Its automated analysis engine scans third-party code as soon as it’s published into the open-source ecosystem to vet software packages, identify risks, inform users and block attacks. Think of Phylum like a firewall for open-source code. Phylum’s database of open-source software supply chain risks is the most comprehensive and scalable offering available, and can be deployed throughout the development lifecycle depending on an organization’s infrastructure and appsec program maturity: in front of artifact repository managers, directly with package managers or in CI/CD pipelines. The Phylum policy library allows users to toggle on the blocking of critical vulnerabilities, attacks like typosquats, obfuscated code and dependency confusion, copyleft licenses, and more. Users can also leverage OPA to create custom policies.

dotCover is a .NET unit testing and code coverage tool that works right in Visual Studio and in JetBrains Rider, helps you know to what extent your code is covered with unit tests, provides great ways to visualize code coverage, and is Continuous Integration ready. dotCover calculates and reports statement-level code coverage in applications targeting .NET Framework, .NET Core, Mono for Unity, etc. dotCover is a plug-in to Visual Studio and JetBrains Rider, giving you the advantage of analyzing and visualizing code coverage without leaving the code editor. This includes running unit tests and analyzing coverage results right in the IDEs, as well as support for different color themes, new icons and menus. dotCover comes bundled with a unit test runner that it shares with another JetBrains tool for .NET developers, ReSharper. dotCover supports continuous testing, a modern unit testing workflow whereby dotCover figures out on-the-fly which unit tests are affected by your code changes.
