Basic Usage

Configuring instrumentation

How to set which source files shall be instrumented, control level of instrumentation, set JDK level and location of coverage data.

Configuring reports

How to choose report formats, generate historical reports and customize report content.

Configuring a coverage goal

How to set a coverage level as a quality gate and fail a build if it drops below certain threshold or drops compared to a previous build.

Using Test Optimization

Working with distributed systems

Working with multi-module projects

You can use the clover:aggregate goal to combine the Clover databases of child projects into a single database at the parent project level.

You can also create a single database for all modules with singleCloverDatabase parameter set to true in clover:setup goal.

Because of this Maven bug, aggregation of databases occurs before the child databases have been generated, when you use the site target.

You can create Clover reports for a multi-module project with the command line mvn clover:setup test clover:aggregate clover:clover.
