cd mstests
dotnet test --collect "Code Coverage;Format=cobertura"
```

You should see output:

```

</details>

For any .NET application you can collect code coverage in this way:

```shell
dotnet new console -o sample1
cd sample1
dotnet tool install -g dotnet-coverage
dotnet-coverage collect "dotnet run"
```

You should see output:

<details>
<summary>Show expected output</summary>

```shell

For existing projects to get latest features and best performance please keep up to date below references:

```xml
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="18.7.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CodeCoverage" Version="18.7.0" />
```

If your solution doesn't contain any C++ code it is recommended to disable native code coverage by adding into configuration below flags:

```xml
<EnableStaticNativeInstrumentation>False</EnableStaticNativeInstrumentation>
<EnableDynamicNativeInstrumentation>False</EnableDynamicNativeInstrumentation>
```

Check other configuration options [here](docs/configuration.md).
