About LuaCov
LuaCov is a simple coverage analyzer for Lua scripts. When a Lua script is run with the luacov module loaded, it generates a stats file with the number of executions of each line of the script and its loaded modules. The luacov command-line script then processes this file generating a report file which allows one to visualize which code paths were not traversed, which is useful for verifying the effectiveness of a test suite. LuaCov includes several configuration options, which have their defaults stored in src/luacov/defaults.lua. These are the global defaults. To use project specific configuration, create a Lua script setting options as globals or returning a table with some options and store it as .luacov in the project directory from where luacov is being run. For example, this config informs LuaCov that only foo module and its submodules should be covered and that they are located inside src directory.

Apache Cordova
Mobile apps with HTML, CSS & JS. Target multiple platforms with one code base. Free and open source. Reusable code across platforms, support for offline scenarios, access native device APIs. Cordova command-line runs on Node.js and is available on NPM. Follow platform specific guides to install additional platform dependencies. Create a blank Cordova project using the command-line tool. Navigate to the directory where you wish to create your project and type cordova create <path>. After creating a Cordova project, navigate to the project directory. From the project directory, you need to add a platform for which you want to build your app. Cordova wraps your HTML/JavaScript app into a native container which can access the device functions of several platforms. These functions are exposed via a unified JavaScript API, allowing you to easily write one set of code to target nearly every phone or tablet on the market today and publish to their app stores.

jscoverage
jscoverage tool, both node.js and JavaScript support. Enhance the coverage range. Use mocha to load the jscoverage module, then it works. jscoverage will append coverage info when you select list or spec or tap reporter in mocha. You can use covout to specify the reporter, like HTML, and detail. The detail reporter will print the uncovered code in the console directly. Mocha runs test case with jscoverage module. jscoverage will ignore files while listing in covignore file. jscoverage will output a report in HTML format. jscoverage will inject a group of functions into your module exports. default jscoverage will search covignore in the project root. jscoverage will copy exclude files from the source directory to the destination directory.

blanket.js
A seamless JavaScript code coverage library. Blanket.js is a code coverage tool for JavaScript that aims to be easy to install, easy to use, and easy to understand. Blanket.js can be run seamlessly or can be customized for your needs. JavaScript code coverage compliments your existing JavaScript tests by adding code coverage statistics (which lines of your source code are covered by your tests). Parsing the code using Esprima and node-falafel, and instrumenting the file by adding code tracking lines. Connecting to hooks in the test runner to output the coverage details after the tests have been completed. A Grunt plugin has been created to allow you to use Blanket like a "traditional" code coverage tool (creating instrumented copies of physical files, as opposed to live-instrumenting). Runs the QUnit-based Blanket report headlessly using PhantomJS. Results are displayed on the console, and the task will cause Grunt to fail if any of your configured coverage thresholds are not met.

Istanbul
JavaScript test coverage made simple. Istanbul instruments your ES5 and ES2015+ JavaScript code with line counters, so that you can track how well your unit-tests exercise your codebase. The nyc command-line-client for Istanbul works well with most JavaScript testing frameworks, tap, mocha, AVA, etc. First-class support of ES6/ES2015+ using babel-plugin-Istanbul. Support for the most popular JavaScript testing frameworks. Support for instrumenting subprocesses, using the nyc command-line interface. Adding coverage to your mocha tests could not be easier. Now, simply place the command nyc in front of your existing test command. nyc's instrument command can be used to instrument source files outside of the context of your unit tests. nyc is able to show you all Node processes that are spawned when running a test script under it. By default, nyc uses Istanbul's text reporter. However, you may specify an alternative reporter.
