How to use VSTest.Console.exe to get code coverage for changed files only

Question

Visual Studio Enterprise's Analyze Code Coverage function supports Changeset Report. I want to be able to get a code coverage changeset report i.e. report for only the changes files in my current branch from the command line by using VSTest.Console.exe. How do I do this ?

Hello @Alex,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

The "Configure Code Coverage Views" feature(includes viewing the changeset report) is a new feature(appears in VS 2022 Enterprise).

There’s no direct command line option of VSTest.Console.exe to generate a code coverage changeset report. I checked the .runsettings file’s configuration elements, but didn’t find any corresponding parameter that support to generate a code coverage changeset report.

I noticed that when exporting the test results(in VS), no options for filtering data and exporting different types of results/reports. By using the VSTest.Console.exe tool, it should be the same.

I recommend you submit a suggestion ticket on our Developer Community for this feature. Currently, you may consider searching and use some VS extensions or try other methods to filter/regenerate the generated normal code coverage results/reports.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best Regards,

Tianyu
