Enhancements

Resolved Issues

Known Issues

• Plugin: Cover incorrectly provides a menu option to write tests for a test file. [Ref: TG-17163]

• CLI & Plugin: Cover may write tests for JUnit 4.10 and lower that do not compile due to the use of assertNotEquals. [Ref: TG-17605]

• Cover supports Open JDK and Oracle JDK; results with other JDKs may differ due to the variability in their implementations of Java. [Ref: TG-19345]

• Cover may encounter an F009: Internal error while writing tests using Mockito 5. To avoid this issue use an earlier version of Mockito. [Ref: TG-19610]
