Testimonials

“Clover is a code coverage tool for java and the only commercial software in the BigBrother architecture. While Clover is not open source, it’s very inexpensive given the benefits derived from its use.”

Excerpt from JDJ Article Taking Continuous Integration to the Next Level by Franz Garsombke, Senior Software Engineer at Global Healthcare Exchange .

“Clover is a gift for the test-driven developer and refactorer. ...An excellent tool to reflect on your coding practices!”

Frank Westphal, author of Testgetriebene Entwicklung mit JUnit und FIT . (translation: Test-driven development with JUnit and FIT.)

“Tapestry has been using Clover for months now and it’s been invaluable. I include the Clover report as part of the documentation in the distribution. Having good code coverage has guided me in extending the Tapestry JUnit test suite from 30% code coverage to 80% and climbing.”

Howard M. Lewis Ship , Senior Java Developer at WebCT and creator of Tapestry: Java Web Components

“The upgrade was painless. The ant tasks are a lot simpler to use. Great Job!”

Jacques Morel, Lead XP Coach at Sabre .

“I can’t say enough good things about this product. Simple and useful.”

Keith Zackrone, Software Development Manager at Adaptis Inc.

“thank you for a wonderful tool!”

Vincent Massol, Director of OCTO Technology and author of the Cactus server-side unit testing framework.

“If you think keeping the JUnit test meter green is addictive, having an updated report of exactly how much code is covered is far more addictive. A measly 1% gain in 50k lines of code means that you now have 500 extra lines of code executed during your test suite. Think about it. Power.”

Mike Cannon-Brookes, Director of Atlassian (authors of JIRA)

“One thing about Clover that sets it apart from most of the other we’ve looked at: it’s a commercial product. Even so, the price is very reasonable. Given the data it provides it’s worth what it costs.”

Excerpt from the upcoming book Practical Guide to Test Driven Development by Dave Astels, author of Practical Guide to Extreme Programming and co-editor of the COAD letter

“I feel compelled to congratulate you on an excellent tool that does exactly what every project needs and is SO EASY to use. It does the heart good to see quality software being commercially released at a reasonable price.”

Brendan Lawlor, CTO of SpokeSoft .

“I’ve recently started using Clover on my open source projects and it’s an amazing product. I’ve not used the Ant tasks yet, but I am using the integration with IntelliJ. Wow, this is probably one of the most impressive products since IntelliJ itself! ... I think from the initial download to my first coverage results took about 15 minutes.”

Blog Entry by Simon Brown, Technical Architect and contributing author of Professional JSP and Professional Java Servlets 2.3

“Clover has located numerous bugs in XOM over the last year, and is largely responsible for the completeness of XOM’s test suite. Clover has also helped to optimize XOM for both speed and size by finding dead, unreachable code I could cut out. ...Clover is one of the few tools I can recommend unconditionally”

Elliotte Rusty Harold, author of many Java and XML books/, the open source project XOM, and the Java news site Cafe au Lait

“I have found Clover to be a very nice tool. The HTML reports it generates are fantastic, especially when doing nightly build and testing of projects.”

Oliver Burn, Senior J2EE Architect at KAZ Group and author of Checkstyle.

“Clover’s integration with Eclipse makes it a de facto part of my eXtreme Programming toolset … I can now easily see what has or has not been tested, and this allows me to live to the letter of XP Relentless testing … this plugin rocks! Eclipse + clover + JUnit is XP heaven!”

Franck Schmidlin, Corporate Technical Consultant
at Anite Public Sector on Clover.

“The integration with Intellij is flawless and gorgeous”

Terence Parr, founder of JGuru and author of ANTLR
