About DeepCover
Deep Cover aims to be the best coverage tool for Ruby code. More accurate line coverage, and branch coverage. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for the built-in Coverage library. It reports a more accurate picture of your code usage. In particular, a line is considered covered if and only if it is entirely executed. Optionally, branch coverage will detect if some branches are never taken. MRI considers every method defined, including methods defined on objects or via define_method, class_eval, etc. For Istanbul output, DeepCover has a different approach and covers all def and all blocks. DeepCover doesn't consider loops to be branches, but it's easy to support them if needed. Even after DeepCover is required and configured, only a very minimal amount of code is actually loaded and coverage is not started. To make it easier to transition for projects already using the builtin Coverage library deep-cover can inject itself into those tools.

RKTracer
RKTracer is a code-coverage and test-analysis tool that enables teams to assess the quality and completeness of their testing across unit, integration, functional, and system-level testing, without altering a single line of application code or build workflow. It supports instrumentation across host machines, simulators, emulators, embedded devices, and servers, and covers a broad array of programming languages, including C, C++, CUDA, C#, Java, Kotlin, JavaScript/TypeScript, Golang, Python, and Swift. It provides detailed coverage metrics such as function, statement, branch/decision, condition, MC/DC, and multi-condition coverage, and even supports delta-coverage reports to show which newly added or modified portions of code are already covered. Integration is seamless; simply prefix your build or test command with “rktracer”, run your tests, then generate HTML or XML reports (for CI/CD systems or dashboards like SonarQube).

JCov
The JCov open-source project is used to gather quality metrics associated with the production of test suites. JCov is being opened in order to facilitate the practice of verifying test execution of regression tests in OpenJDK development. The main motivation behind JCov is the transparency of test coverage metrics. The advantage to promoting standard coverage based on JCov is that OpenJDK developers will be able to use a code coverage tool that stays in the 'lock step' with Java language and VM developments. JCov is a pure java implementation of a code coverage tool that provides a means to measure and analyze dynamic code coverage of Java programs. JCov provides functionality to collect method, linear block, and branch coverage, as well as show uncovered execution paths. It is also able to show a program's source code annotated with coverage information. From a testing perspective, JCov is most useful to determine execution paths.

SimpleCov
SimpleCov is a code coverage analysis tool for Ruby. It uses Ruby's built-in Coverage library to gather code coverage data, but makes processing its results much easier by providing a clean API to filter, group, merge, format, and display those results, giving you a complete code coverage suite that can be set up with just a couple lines of code. SimpleCov/Coverage track covered ruby code, gathering coverage for common templating solutions like erb, slim, and haml is not supported. In most cases, you'll want overall coverage results for your projects, including all types of tests, Cucumber features, etc. SimpleCov automatically takes care of this by caching and merging results when generating reports, so your report actually includes coverage across your test suites and thereby gives you a better picture of blank spots. SimpleCov must be running in the process that you want the code coverage analysis to happen on.

JaCoCo
JaCoCo is a free code coverage library for Java, which has been created by the EclEmma team based on the lessons learned from using and integrating existing libraries for many years. The master branch of JaCoCo is automatically built and published. Due to the test-driven development approach, every build is considered fully functional. See the change history for the latest features and bug fixes. SonarQube code quality metrics of the current JaCoCo implementation are available on SonarCloud.io. Integrate JaCoCo technology with your tools. Use JaCoCo tools out of the box. Improve the implementation and add new features. There are several open-source coverage technologies for Java available. While implementing the Eclipse plug-in EclEmma the observation was that none of them are really designed for integration. Most of them are specifically fit to a particular tool (Ant tasks, command line, IDE plug-in) and do not offer a documented API that allows embedding in different contexts.
