RKTracer Tool Key Features?

An automated unit tests generation and code coverage tool must be flexible enough to operate with existing build configurations to be effective. Even if existing applications or legacy code with or without unit testing, integration testing and functional testing. 

  • Using rktracer gives you peace of mind since it supports all compilers, cross-compilers, IDEs, and embedded target devices.
  • The rktracer tool is easy to learn and use. You can generate unit tests or code coverage by prefixing the rktracer keyword to your build command, or by enabling it in your IDE and rebuilding.
  • You can generate unit tests in your existing development or testing environment without having to import your project to a vendor tool.
  • Support for Test-Driven Development(TDD).
  • The only tool that is capable of generating unit tests in the GoogleTest framework or Unity framework.
  • There is no other tool that allows you to automatically add the generated unit tests to your project with just two commands. This allows you to modify, enhance, run, and maintain unit tests even if you do not have to use the rktracer tool. 
  • You can use it as a code coverage tool for C, C++ for unit testing, integration testing, functional testing, and system testing on host and target devices. 
  • You can also use it as a code coverage tool for C#, Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, TypeScript, Golang, and Python. 
  • Using RKTracer, you can obtain code coverage information at a detailed level.
  • Additionally, RKTracer will provide you with code coverage reports for mutation testing. By doing so, developers will be able to determine whether refactored lines of code have been covered or not.

Continuous Integration:

Do you want to access real-time coverage and analysis for a build as soon as it is released? Do you want to assess recent changes in the code?

Well, you have it. RKTracer integrates directly into several build-and-test frameworks and acts as a Continuous Integration (CI) component.

  • Plugin for Jenkins
  • Plugin for Azure DevOps
  • SonarQube (all versions are supported)

Reporting:

Our Coverage Browser built within lets you interactively assess and generate reports in several formats:

  • HTML – You can browse through the summary at the project level, file-level, and function level, as well as the in-depth analysis on a Web Browser. Including delta coverage and coverage for new lines
  • XML – You can export the raw data and process it as per your needs
  • SonarQube – You can integrate the code coverage into SonarQube.

Advanced Analysis:

RKTracer goes beyond the general coverage standards. In the post-processing phase, you can utilize the extra information to get more depth in your analysis.

  • Delta Code Coverage.
  • Code Coverage for New/modified lines of code.
  • Built-in Comparison of coverage results from one build to another.
