Atlassian Clover: Code Coverage Tool for Java Applications

Atlassian Clover integrates with build tools like Maven and Gradle to show statement, branch, and method coverage, helping developers write better unit tests and enforce code quality policies.

What is Atlassian Clover?

Atlassian Clover is a code coverage tool designed specifically for Java applications. It integrates tightly with build tools like Maven and Gradle to provide statement, branch, and method coverage metrics right within the developer's workflow.

A key benefit of Clover is that it enables developers to easily visualize code coverage data both in real-time as they write tests and from build-to-build. This helps ensure critical business logic and edge cases are fully tested. Clover's rich reporting can also enforce code quality gates - for example requiring that all classes and packages maintain a minimum level of test coverage over time.

In addition to code coverage percentages, Clover provides valuable insights into the test suite itself such as highlighting redundant or slow tests. The Clover plugin for IntelliJ IDEA also shows coverage data directly in the code editor window as developers write tests. This helps developers immediately fill gaps.

With its focus on Java testing workflows, Clover is widely used at organizations that rely on Java applications for business-critical systems. The automated reporting aids managers with portfolio-level visibility and governance across multiple applications and teams.
