Embold enables users to include coverage data as part of the analysis for Java projects. However, Embold itself does not generate coverage reports. To incorporate coverage information, users must first use a third-party tool to create the coverage report. Once the report is ready, users need to configure Embold to locate and retrieve it. This ensures that the coverage data is displayed alongside other analysis results within the Embold UI.

Full Workflow Example

End-to-End Configuration in Azure Repository

Pre-requisites:

  • The Embold Server must be running and properly configured.
  • The user needs to have a build for their Java project, which includes JaCoCo coverage data as part of the test runs.
  • The user should run the Embold scan on the same host where the Java project was built and the JaCoCo data was generated.

Running remote-scan for coverage

  • Go to Embold UI repo and click on three dot (…) then click on Pipeline Script
    Note: The repository type must be set to remote.


  • Copy the shell script

  • Add the EMBOLD_TOKEN variable in script
  • Run the script
  • Customization for shell script
    • If user want to download embold-scanner manually then comment line number 6 and 7 and run the script where the embold-scanner is located.
    • If user want to download repository configuration json manually comment line number 10 and run the script where the embold-scanner is located.

  • Navigate the Coverage section on Embold UI to see the coverage data:
