Bug#358009: ITP: rcov -- a code coverage tool for Ruby



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ari Pollak <ari@debian.org>

* Package name    : rcov
  Version         : 0.2.0
  Upstream Author : Mauricio Fernandez <mfp@acm.org>
* URL             : http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?rcov
* License         : Dual GPL/Ruby license, includes a modified BSD-style
                    licensed library
  Description     : a code coverage tool for Ruby

rcov is a code coverage tool for Ruby. It improves on the better known coverage
tool, Ruby Coverage, in a number of points:

	* 20-300 times faster: typically, the program being inspected runs only ~3
      times slower than without rcov (i.e. not 200 times slower as with previous
      tools)

	* more accurate coverage information through code linkage inference using
      simple heuristics
    * more convenient interface
    * additional features like bogo-profile mode, colorblind-friendliness...
