Just wondering what people are using for code coverage tools when using MS Visual Studio 2008 Pro. We are using the built-in MS test project and unit testing tool (the one that come pre-installed with MS VS 2008 pro)!
Thanks ! I will download a trial version of NCover...

I would suggest that you go with NUnit for tests and NCover for coverage.

There's nothing wrong with the built-in testing tool in VS, especially if they already have a suite of tests using it...

VS coverage only supports statement level as for my experience. If you are looking for decision level coverage you'll need to look for better tools.

I have also found the VS functionality to be the usual UI mess, and difficult to use.

If you use the TestDriven.Net addin you will get a very good unit test runner and NCover thrown in as well. Get the personal developer version. This is realy the best ever addin for visual studio.

I have been using the built in VS tools and have been happy with the results. NUnit / NCover seem to have a generally good reputation from people I've spoken with.
