SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the complexity of configuring, measuring, and enforcing code coverage standards in Kotlin projects, ensuring that testing requirements are met without manual overhead.

Core Features & Use Cases

Coverage Measurement: Instruments JVM bytecode to track line, branch, and instruction coverage across single and multi-module projects.
Verification Rules: Enforces quality gates by setting minimum coverage thresholds that fail builds if standards are not met.
Use Case: Use this Skill to configure a multi-module KMP project to require 100% line coverage for all public APIs, automatically generating HTML reports and failing the build if any new code is added without corresponding tests.

Quick Start

Use the kover skill to configure a verification rule requiring 100 percent line coverage for the entire application.

FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce minimum code coverage thresholds in a Kotlin Gradle build?▼

To enforce code coverage in a Kotlin Gradle build, configure verification rules using the Kover plugin to set minimum line and branch coverage thresholds. The build automatically fails if any specified coverage standards are not met.

Can I aggregate code coverage reports across a Kotlin Multiplatform project?▼

Yes, you can aggregate code coverage reports across a Kotlin Multiplatform project. The Kover Gradle plugin instruments JVM bytecode and supports multi-module report aggregation, generating unified HTML reports across all modules.

Does Kover work with Kotlin Multiplatform projects to measure JVM bytecode coverage?▼

Kover works with Kotlin Multiplatform projects by instrumenting JVM bytecode to track line, branch, and instruction coverage. It integrates directly into Gradle build scripts to measure coverage for both single and multi-module KMP projects.

How do I configure a Gradle quality gate to fail builds without test coverage?▼

To configure a Gradle quality gate for failing builds without test coverage, define verification rules with the Kover plugin. This requires a minimum line or branch coverage threshold, automatically failing the build if new code lacks corresponding tests.

What types of code coverage metrics can I measure for Kotlin using Gradle?▼

Using the Kover Gradle plugin, you can measure line, branch, and instruction code coverage metrics for Kotlin projects. It instruments JVM bytecode to accurately track these metrics across single and multi-module architectures.

Do I need to manually configure bytecode instrumentation to track Kotlin coverage?▼

No, manual bytecode instrumentation is not required. The Kover Gradle plugin automatically handles bytecode instrumentation during the build process to track coverage and generate reports without manual overhead.
