[Webtest] Re: Interest in PHP Code Coverage with Canoo Webtest?

[Ralf Müller]

Troy, you are right. Xdebug seems to be the only way to gather the 
coverage report information. And it woorks quite well.

Take a look at
http://webtest-community.canoo.com/wiki/space/PHP+Code+Coverage+Testing
To find out how I've set up my Code Coverage Analysis for PHP.

I guess this text already contains enough information to set up your own 
environment, but feel free to contact me if you have any problems. I 
will also try to get into more details asap.

Cheers,
Ralf

PS: yes, PHPunit has some kind of Code Coverage include, but I didn't 
manage to get it going. The aproach decribed in the wiki works great - 
even for you unit tests if you use an HTMLrunner.
