| Fact | cargo-llvm-cov | Coverage.py |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage types | It generates line and region coverage, while branch coverage is optional and currently requires nightly Rust. | It measures statement coverage by default and can also measure branch coverage. |
| Installation | It can be installed from source with Cargo, as a prebuilt release binary, through GitHub Actions, Homebrew, Scoop, cargo-binstall, pacman, or FreeBSD ports. | The documented installation command is `python3 -m pip install coverage`. |
| License | The project is available under either the Apache License 2.0 or the MIT License, at the user's option. | Coverage.py is licensed under the Apache 2.0 License. |
| Purpose | cargo-llvm-cov is a Cargo subcommand that wraps rustc’s LLVM source-based code coverage instrumentation. | Coverage.py measures which parts of Python programs ran and identifies executable code that did not run, commonly to gauge test effectiveness. |
| Report formats | Coverage reports can be generated as text, HTML, JSON, LCOV, Cobertura XML, or Codecov Custom Coverage format. | Reports can be emitted as text, HTML, XML, LCOV, or JSON. |
