SteveGilham/altcover

AltCover is a .NET code coverage tool that instruments assemblies to collect execution data during test runs. It provides a comprehensive suite for managing, transforming, and reporting on coverage metrics across multiple formats including OpenCover, NCover, and Cobertura. The system includes a command-line interface, a visualizer for interactive analysis, and integrations for popular build systems like Cake and FAKE.

This period focused on modernizing the project's build infrastructure and expanding its tooling ecosystem. The codebase was restructured to support modern .NET SDK-style projects, and new features were added for CLI tools, PowerShell cmdlets, and Cake/FAKE integration. Additionally, regression tests and demo projects were introduced to validate specific issues and showcase usage scenarios.

This period focused on expanding AltCover's capabilities to support .NET Core and modern .NET testing infrastructure, including the introduction of the AltCover.Monitor for real-time tracking and integration with dotnet test. Significant effort was dedicated to supporting a wide variety of code coverage report formats (OpenCover, Lcov, NCover, Cobertura) through new conversion modules, XSLT transforms, and XML schemas. The period also saw the addition of numerous sample projects and unit tests to validate these new features and edge cases.
