LCOV is a set of Perl scripts that capture, manipulate, and visualize code coverage data from tools like gcov, llvm-cov, Coverage.py, Cobertura, and others. It generates hyperlinked HTML coverage reports with bar graphs and hierarchical views suitable for large projects.

Use cases

  • generate html coverage reports for c/c++ projects
  • measure linux kernel code coverage
  • convert coverage.py output to lcov format
  • track differential coverage across builds
  • browse test coverage of a large codebase by directory

When to choose

  • you need rich HTML coverage reports for gcov or llvm-cov data
  • you work on large projects needing hierarchical coverage browsing
  • you need to unify coverage data from multiple languages

When to avoid

  • you want a native library API for coverage data rather than CLI tools
  • you need coverage for languages with no supported coverage tool
