This guide has instructions to generate code coverage report on your local machine in HTML or plain text.

## Install required command-line tool (gcovr) and configure the project to generate temporary profiling files:
7
8
1. Install ``gcovr`` on your machine. <pre><code>sudo easy_install gcovr</code></pre>
9
10
2. When configuring, add option "--with-coverage" (e.g. ``./waf configure --with-tests --with-coverage``). If the build or running unit tests requires other packages, all the packages should be configured with the option "--with-coverage". For example, ``ndn-cpp-dev`` requires ``ndnd-tlv`` to run its unit tests, then when configuring ``ndn-cpp-dev``, we should use "``./waf configure --with-tests --with-coverage``", and when configuring ``ndnd-tlv``, we should use "``./waf configure --with-coverage``".

## To create code coverage report (HTML format) follow the steps below:
13
14
3. After building the project and running unit tests, use ``gcovr`` to generate detailed code coverage report in html form. The following is a one-liner:
15
<pre><code>mkdir build/coverage; gcovr -r . --object-directory=build/ --html --html-details -o build/coverage/coverage.html</code></pre>
16
17
4. Use any browser to open ``build/coverage/coverage.html`` to see the code coverage report.

## To create code coverage report (PLAIN TEXT) follow the steps below:

21
3. After building the project and running unit tests, use ``gcovr`` to generate detailed code coverage report in plain text. The command is:
22
<pre><code>gcovr -r . --object-directory=build/ --html-details -o build/coverage.txt</code></pre>
23
24
4. Use any plain text editor/reader to open ``build/coverage.txt`` to see the code coverage report.
