Test Coverage Tools

Hi,

I was wondering if there are any tools that allow me to
run automated test (written in some 3rd party scripts such
as SilkTest or WinRunner) and determine what amount of the
code was touched by the test scripts.

Some of the tools I have seen are JEvolve, JCoverage, JCover
but they seem to use their is scripting process and, while
I can write new scripts, I was hoping to leverage scripts
that have already been written.

Thanks
Felix

Java Coverage Validator.

There is a command line interface (as well as the GUI) which is perfect
for use as part of a unit test or regression test framework (the
commandline options were provided with that as the intention).

I don't understand what the issue is here.
Our test coverage tool for Java
(http://www.semanticdesigns.com/Products/TestCoverage/JavaTestCoverage)
does require a script to tell it what to instrument.
Its a pretty trivial script; it contains the list of files
you want test coverage collected on.

There's a GUI to help you build that list,
if you can't do it with ls or dir
and 30 seconds of editing.
