Ncover Command Line For MSTest

If you are using MSTest here is the command windows batch command to generate test results

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\mstest.exe" /testcontainer: \yourTestProjectPath\YourTests.dll /testcontainer: \yourTestProjectPath2\YourTests2.dll /resultsfile:results.trx /testsettings:YourTestSettingsPath \local.testsettings

You can add several test projects using /testcontainer: argument. Here I have used two test projects. To use NCover we need to change this command by adding NCover commands . NCover arguments are started with “//” and for MSTest they started with “/”. Here Is the Ncover command to generate coverage.nccov and coverage.trend files.

"C:\Program files (x86)\NCover\NCover.Console.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\mstest.exe" //x mstest_coverage.nccov //at "coverage.trend" /testcontainer: \yourTestProjectPath\YourTests.dll /testcontainer: \yourTestProjectPath2\YourTests2.dll /resultsfile:results.trx /testsettings:YourTestSettingsPath \local.testsettings

There are more options with NCover you can find those here Ncover command line

Now we have coverage.nccov and coverage.trend files we need to generate a HTML report from these two. For that we can use Ncover Reportng tool. Here is the Command to generate NCover HTML reports.

ncover.reporting mstest_coverage.nccov //lt coverage.trend //or FullCoverageReport:Html:output

Here we are generating full Coverage report in the directory called output
