Hello,

I am looking for a solution to measure code coverage in ROS. For example, in the ROS turtlesim package, I would like to measure how many functions / branches / program-blocks the tutorial program draw_square.cpp reaches during its execution. Such coverage can be helpful, for example, in determining the thoroughness of a test program.

The ROS Continuous Integration page ( http://wiki.ros.org/CIs ) provides hints on some existing solutions of measuring coverage, but the page does not seem to give details.

For your information, I sometimes used GCOV for measuring C program coverage. I am looking for a solution that can deal with both C++ and Python programs in ROS.

Thank you.

Perhaps mikeferguson/code_coverage can help here, or at least the C++ side. For Python I wouldn't know anything integrated/nice/ROS wrapped.

Edit: according to this the sr-build-tools project can provide code coverage for both C++ and Python. Haven't used it myself though.

I have an example of doing code coverage using gcov for ROS C++ code at node_example. The tests are run as part of a Travis job and the results are uploaded to codecov, but you can also get the coverage results locally as well.

The relevant steps for doing code coverage of a ROS package can be found in the Travis configuration file at:

That package does not yet include tests for Python code.

I switched from Travis CI to Github Actions. The same approach is used. https://github.com/tdenewiler/node_ex...
