What dotCover is

dotCover is a paid .NET unit test runner and code coverage tool for C#, F#, and VB.NET. It reports statement-level coverage and supports statement, unit-test, and application or manual coverage. The tool integrates with Visual Studio and JetBrains Rider. Windows users run it through either IDE, while macOS and Linux access is through Rider only. Supported targets include .NET Framework, .NET Core, .NET, Mono, and Mono for Unity. MSTest, NUnit, and xUnit work out of the box, with MSpec available through a plugin. Continuous testing can identify tests affected by changes and rerun them on save, build, or request. Editor highlighting marks covered and uncovered code and test status, while Hot Spots identifies complex methods with low coverage. Reports export to HTML, XML, JSON, and XML for NDepend. A 30-day trial is available; there is no free plan. dotCover is licensed through dotUltimate or All Products Pack.

Good

Who it suits

It suits .NET teams needing IDE-integrated testing, coverage analysis, continuous test reruns, and exportable reports. Platform fit depends on whether users work in Visual Studio on Windows or Rider on macOS and Linux.

Verdict

dotCover combines .NET test running with several coverage views, filters, reports, and continuous-testing options. Its paid bundle licensing and platform-specific IDE requirements should guide selection.
