IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 introduces a new way of browsing the gathered coverage information through a dedicated Coverage View.

This view aggregates the coverage details over a configured scope in one place. It provides ability to sort data by coverage percentage, what can be used for detection of code which is not enough covered by tests.

As always quick navigation, scroll from/to source, flatten packages mode are available in Coverage View for an easy work with the results. It also allows generating HTML report right from the view.

Please note, that the view is also available for Python, Ruby and PHP coverage plugins.

The new feature is already available in IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 released a few days ago. We appreciate any feedback. Please don’t hesitate to submit any found issues to our tracker.

Sometimes you have an abstract test class with test methods where the inheritors set up different environment. As it is impossible to run an abstract class you had to enumerate inheritors manually, choose corresponding methods and run these methods one by one.

Now (since IntelliJ IDEA 11.1) it is possible to run tests right from the abstract base class and simply choose inheritors from the popup.

This works for JUnit and for TestNG tests.
