Enabling Code Coverage in Visual Studio 2010

Posted by Stuart Preston on April 13, 2010 under Team Foundation Server | 4 Comments to Read

Hopefully this will save someone a minute or two.

In Visual Studio 2010 to enable Code Coverage, you edit the .TestSettings file (e.g. Local.TestSettings) – similar to the TestRunConfig file in Visual Studio 2008. Code Coverage no longer has its own section – it can be found under Data and Diagnostics where you can then set Code Coverage to enabled by checking the box.

The subtle thing I missed for a couple of minutes was that the Configure button at the top of the grid only is enabled when you select the Code Coverage row – and in there is the Code Coverage Detail dialog that lets you select the “artifacts to instrument”.

Looks pretty obvious now huh!

Thanks, I was missing the button there as well. Not the best place for it to be.

Hi,

Nice info

I have a question:

Just a test project:

Local:
ClassLibrary1.dll 1 25,00 % 3 75,00 %
MyTestWebPage.dll 129 54,43 % 108 45,57 %

on buildserver 2010:
ClassLibrary1.dll 1 25,00 % 3 75,00 %

Why does the buildserver not see the other project?

Have you “enabled” deployment in your test settings, and are you selecting a specific assembly (.dll) rather than a website to instrument?
