Any good tool/experience/story about using some code-coverage tool at early beta to early gold deployed applications?
Platform is .net 2.0

A:
NCover is the best tool ever that I have seen. It works well with .NET 2.0 too. But keep in mind that 100% code coverage too will assure 60 to 70% of the quality of your product since your product may break in particular sequence and code coverage wont let you know.

+1 NCover is good, but remember to switch it off before you go into production, as it tends to slow down the application (as do most tools that instrument code).

Yeah, but I would just like to do with something that will allow coverage in production environment. I tried ncover, but haven't got around to using it in deployment scenarios yet.

See SD C# Test Coverage. Handles big systems with very low overhead. Suitable for running in a production environment if you insist.

Hm, $1100... That's lots of code that you can buy for that amount.

If you are going to quote prices, be sure you quote a price for what is being discussed. That's a bundle price for a set of tools, and the bundle you quoted isn't even for C#. If you are going to object that this tool *has* a price, then it only seems fair that you object to NCover, too. Finally, you asked what was available, not what was available for free.

... finally, you should look more closely at what it achieves vs. what you want before you object. This test coverage tool has very low overhead... which means you *can* use it in deployed software.
