OpenCover is a code coverage tool for .NET 2 and above on Windows, supporting 32 and 64-bit processes with both branch and sequence point coverage. The project is now in archive mode, with the maintainer recommending alternatives like AltCover.
Use cases
- measure code coverage of .NET unit tests
- get branch and sequence point coverage on Windows
- run coverage on 32-bit and 64-bit .NET processes
- generate coverage reports for legacy .NET Framework apps
- integrate coverage into CI pipelines for .NET
When to choose
- you need coverage for legacy .NET Framework (2+) applications on Windows
- you need branch-level coverage with 32/64-bit process support
- your toolchain already depends on OpenCover output formats
When to avoid
- you target .NET Core/.NET 5+ or Linux containers - use AltCover instead
- you need an actively maintained tool with regular updates
- you need cross-platform or Mono support
