GCov

The gcov plugin integrates the code coverage abilities of the GNU compiler collection with test builds. It provides simple coverage metrics by default and can optionally produce sophisticated coverage reports.

Note

The Gcov plugin creates a duplicate test build with gcov: command line plugin tasks. This is intentional and needed.
