I am in the process of writing unit tests for someone else's code. Right now, I am just sort of looking through all the classes of the main code branch to see if I have written tests to cover all cases. What sort of tools exist that could aid me in this to see how many more tests I still have to write?

  • This question is really about code coverage. Unit tests are just a way to exercise the code, for which one might want code coverage. There are many other ways to exercise code, for which one might also want code coverage.

My team and I use Typemock's Isolator. It's a unit testing framework with some nice features, one of them is code coverage. We are very satisfied with this product.
