Mark Doliner let me know that he's adding two more committers to the Cobertura project. That makes three this year (John Lewis stepped up earlier this year). The latest committers are Jiri Mares and Joakim Erdfelt.

What is Cobertura?

From the website:
Cobertura is a free Java tool that calculates the percentage of code accessed by tests. It can be used to identify which parts of your Java program are lacking test coverage.

Some recent additions include Groovy support, a Maven 2.0 plugin, and other cool features.

Drop over to the sample reports page and see if it looks like something you'd like on your project. Then visit the Ant task reference page, the Maven links, or even the command line interface page and get it plugged into your project.

Once it's in place you'll have no problem seeing the gaps in your testing coverage. But remember to to use it wisely.
