ass is a small node.js code coverage library with the following features:
- dynamic instrumentation: code is instrumented on the fly
- minimal setup: get code coverage reports with minimal impact on your project
- multiple process support: coverage data from multiple processes is aggregated into a single report
- different report formats: basic reporting functionality built in
The philosophy behind ass is that implementing code coverage should
be a trivial process. That no pre or post processing should be
required. That the code coverage library should itself handle
reporting (not require support from your test framework). And
finally, that code coverage data should be programatically accessible.
To get started with ass, first install it:
npm install --save-dev ass
Then instrument processes that are run by your test harness by adding a
single "stub" file (say your original server was in server.js, let's assume
you name the stub stub.js):
require('ass');
require('./server.js');
Finally, you can enable testing in your test harness programatically:
var ass = require('ass').enable();
// .. run all of your tests, spawning instrumented processes
ass.report('html', function(err, report) {
require('fs').writeFileSync('coverage.html', report);
});
A full example of code coverage is available:
$ git clone git://github.com/lloyd/ass
$ cd ass/example
$ npm install
$ npm test
$ open coverage.html
