Coverage.py is a tool for measuring code coverage of Python programs. It
monitors your program, noting which parts of the code have been executed, then
analyzes the source to identify code that could have been executed but was not.
Coverage measurement is typically used to gauge the effectiveness of tests. It
can show which parts of your code are being exercised by tests, and which are
not.
.. ifconfig:: not prerelease
The latest version is coverage.py 4.2, released July 26th 2016. It
is supported on:
* Python versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6.
* PyPy 4.0 and 5.1.
* PyPy3 2.4 and 5.2
.. ifconfig:: prerelease
The latest version is coverage.py 4.3b1, released July 4th 2016. It is
supported on:
* Python versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6.
* PyPy2 5.6.
* PyPy3 5.5.
**This is a pre-release build. The usual warnings about possible bugs
apply.** The latest stable version is coverage.py 4.2, `described here`_.
.. _described here: http://nedbatchelder.com/code/coverage
Quick start
-----------
Getting started is easy:
#. Install coverage.py from the `coverage.py page on the Python Package Index`_,
or by using "pip install coverage". For a few more details, see
:ref:`install`.
#. Use ``coverage run`` to run your program and gather data:
.. code-block:: console
$ coverage run my_program.py arg1 arg2
blah blah ..your program's output.. blah blah
#. Use ``coverage report`` to report on the results:
.. code-block:: console
$ coverage report -m
Name Stmts Miss Cover Missing
-------------------------------------------------------
my_program.py 20 4 80% 33-35, 39
my_other_module.py 56 6 89% 17-23
-------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL 76 10 87%
#. For a nicer presentation, use ``coverage html`` to get annotated HTML
listings detailing missed lines:
.. code-block:: console
$ coverage html
.. ifconfig:: not prerelease
Then visit htmlcov/index.html in your browser, to see a
`report like this`_.
.. ifconfig:: prerelease
Then visit htmlcov/index.html in your browser, to see a
`report like this one`_.
.. _coverage.py page on the Python Package Index: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/coverage
.. _report like this: http://nedbatchelder.com/files/sample_coverage_html/index.html
.. _report like this one: http://nedbatchelder.com/files/sample_coverage_html_beta/index.html
Using coverage.py
-----------------
There are a few different ways to use coverage.py. The simplest is the
:ref:`command line <cmd>`, which lets you run your program and see the results.
If you need more control over how your project is measured, you can use the
:ref:`API <api>`.
Some test runners provide coverage integration to make it easy to use
coverage.py while running tests. For example, `nose`_ has a `cover plug-in`_.
You can fine-tune coverage.py's view of your code by directing it to ignore
parts that you know aren't interesting. See :ref:`source` and :ref:`excluding`
for details.

Getting help
------------
If the :ref:`FAQ <faq>` doesn't answer your question, you can discuss
coverage.py or get help using it on the `Testing In Python`_ mailing list.
.. _Testing In Python: http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/testing-in-python
Bug reports are gladly accepted at the `Bitbucket issue tracker`_.
Bitbucket also hosts the `code repository`_. There is a `mirrored repo`_ on
GitHub.
