Kover is a JetBrains toolset for measuring test coverage of Kotlin code compiled for JVM and Android, provided as Gradle and Maven plugins, a CLI, and a JVM instrumentation agent. It generates HTML and XML coverage reports and supports verification rules to enforce coverage bounds.

Use cases

• measure test coverage of Kotlin JVM projects
• generate HTML and XML coverage reports from Gradle builds
• enforce minimum coverage thresholds in CI
• collect coverage for Android unit and instrumented tests
• measure coverage in Kotlin multiplatform projects
• run coverage analysis via CLI without a build plugin

When to choose

• you have Kotlin or mixed Kotlin/Java code on JVM or Android and need coverage reports
• you want coverage verification rules integrated into Gradle or Maven builds
• you need an alternative to JaCoCo tuned for Kotlin

When to avoid

• your code targets Kotlin/JS or Kotlin/Native only
• you need coverage for non-JVM languages
• you require a fully stable tool and cannot tolerate beta-level changes
