History
NCover is a .NET code coverage created by Peter Waldschmidt in 2002 while he was CTO of another company. Peter was looking for a way to improve the code quality within their organization. Although they were testing the code, he recognized that they may not be testing all of their code. After creating NCover, the product was given to the community for free. As he continued to get requests for more features and further development, Peter decided to commercialize NCover so he could give it the dedicated resources the product deserved.
In September 2007, NCover began sales of 2 products of v2, NCover Enterprise and NCover Professional, but continued to leave a free version for the community on its website (v1.5.8). In addition there is an open source version of NCover available on SourceFourge that is not affiliated in any way with the commercial NCover product.
Over the next 15 months, additional resources were added and NCover was completely rewritten in WPF with major increases to speed and functionality. NCover v3 was released in February 2009 as 2 products, NCover Complete and NCover Classic. Although the product began as solely a code coverage tool, it has expanded to more a code quality platform. NCover Complete trends historical coverage files, method coverage, branch coverage, cyclomatic complexity and profiling of parent and multiple child processes for both symbol and line coverage points on x86 or x64 platforms.
NCover has grown to become the leading code coverage product available for .NET developer. Code coverage is essential for the success of software development. Without code coverage bugs and defects in the software run unchecked. This leads to product flaws and failure. The European Union is moving to hold software companies responsible for errors in their programs 2 making code coverage even more important.
