JetBrains dotCover

TeamCity comes bundled with the console runner of JetBrains dotCover. Just by enabling the configuration option, you can collect code coverage for your .Net project and then view the coverage statistics and detailed coverage report inside the TeamCity web UI.

If you have a license for dotCover and have it installed on a developer machine, TeamCity-collected coverage results can be downloaded and viewed inside Visual Studio with the help of Visual Studio Addin.

dotCover Settings

Path to dotCover Home	Leave this field blank to use the bundled dotCover. Alternatively, specify the path to the dotCover installed on a build agent.
Filters	Specify assemblies to profile - one per line - using the following syntax: `+:assembly=;type=;method=**`. Use `-:assembly` to exclude an assembly from code coverage. The asterisk wildcard (``) is supported here.
Attribute Filters	If you don't want to know the coverage data solution-wide, you can exclude the code marked with an attribute (for example, with `ObsoleteAttribute`) from the coverage statistics. You only need to specify these attribute filters here in the following format: the filters should be a new-line separated list; the `-:attributeName` or `-:module=myassembly;attributeName` syntax should be used to exclude the code marked with the attributes from code coverage. Use the asterisk (`*`) as a wildcard if needed. Supported only for dotCover 2.0 or newer.
