Exclude methods from code coverage with Cobertura

Question

Is there a way to exclude code from inclusion into Cobertura coverage reports? We have some methods that should not be included in the coverage report and therefore not driv

Answer 1

Since 2.0 you can write your own @CoverageIgnore annotation.

It will be recognized by Cobertura, which will avoid considering annotated methods (does not work on classes as far as I know).

1. Create an empty annotation:

public @interface CoverageIgnore {}

2. Then annotate the methods you want to exclude from the reports:

public class SomeClass {
    @CoverageIgnore
    public void foo(String baz) {
        // useless stuff
    }
}
